Ricky Montgomery – Line Without A Hook lyrics

Ricky Montgomery – Line Without A Hook lyrics

I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me
When we're alone
You can hold my hand
If no one's home
Do you like it when I'm away?
If I went and hurt my body baby
Would you love me the same?
I can feel all my bones coming back
And I'm craving motion
Mama never really learned how to live by herself
It's a curse
And it's growing
You're a pond and I'm an ocean
Oh, all my emotions
Feel like explosions when you are around
And I've found a way to kill the sounds ohh

[Chorus]
Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay
I broke all my bones that day I found you
Crying at the lake
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh
And if I could take it all back
I swear that I would pull you from the tide

Oh, woah, woah, woah
I said no, I said no
Listen close, It's a no
The wind is a-pounding on my back
And I found hope in a heart attack
Oh at last, it is past
Now I've got it, and you can't have it

[Chorus]

Darling, when I'm fast asleep
I've seen this person watching me
Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?"
Because there is something, and there is nothing
There is nothing in between
And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer
Watching over me, he's singing
"She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy"
He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook."

[Chorus]

what i think is that he loves this girl but she doesnt really live him, a line without a hook means you get along but you have nothing to get her attention or to make her want more in the relationship. so like if he hurt himself would she care enough? and when he says "is it worth it is it worth it" as if staying would make her want to stay and going so far for her is worth it. that is my interpretation

i always thought that this song is based on a relationship where both ends are very insecure of themselves. they both know this but are afraid to talk about it and end up hurting each other, thats where the lyric "was it something i said to to make you feel like a burden" comes along. i think it was at that point where they both knew they were hurting each other because they used each other to make themselves feel less insecure

So, I think this song like some of the comments say is about a relationship. I think the other person in the relationship is struggling with depression and may have committed suicide. Now, he is a line without a hook. He also talks about pulling the person from the tide. So he possibly tried to help but couldn’t. They also say “she’s a she’s a lady” and there’s no in between. So possibly the person was trans but bullied for it causing there suicide.

This might be a classic “I want you back song,” but I see it more as two struggling people trying to keep a relationship. He wonders if she’d care if he hurt himself, but also feels how much his partner is hurting. Several lines hint at the fact that he wanted to help them, but it was painful to do so. Along with that he has issues with self-worth and being enough for them. Interpreting it like this hits close to home for me so maybe that’s why it seems to make sense, but the sadness and heartbreak of the song seem to come through that way.

I agree with other comments, I think its about a relationship which the girl is really perfect outside but broken in the inside, Only the boy knows how she feels. "line without a hook", "Oh baby, I am a wreck without you." This is like a message "dont leave me, I'll be here with you," Its like that. I mean I'm quite sure that this is about a broken relationship or unrequited love, "If I went and hurt my body baby Would you love me the same?" "I broke all my bones that day I found you Crying at the lake" So this song is about a boy, Wanting to help her but It got worsen for her. A perfect healthy girl whose in inside is totally broken. Then she died because of some problems which i Guess that is bullying, Harassment, Also abuse. He blames himself afterwards he heard she died because she died- Im not really sure, Sorry if this doesn't make sense

As English is my second language, i didn't really get the meaning of the song but i read the comments and i think i understand now. the girl is suffering from something. it could be depression or anxiety or any mental illness. and the boy must be a mama's boy who doesn't know anything about life and stuffs like that. he wants to help the girl but he doesn't know what to do or what to say. he is that kind of guy who can just ask 'can i get you some water?'. So yeah.. it's like that.. i think?
