Hostage

(album: People And Things - 2011)

This might hurt
Come back to earth, come back to earth
We don't mean to drag you down
Thin air, slingshot
You always find somewhere to wander off
When I need you around

So you wait until the last song ends
You say I was your only friend

But I won't hold you hostage
And I won't set you free
I'll always leave the lights on
And you'll return to me
Please don't lose the keys
I won't hold you hostage
I won't hold you

Pain recedes
All things will pass
And this is gonna pass, pass
I'm just trying to keep you calm
Oh and the fates
Of all your dreams they might soon slip away
And miss you when they're gone

And we waited for the cab outside
I offer you a place to hide

But I won't hold you hostage
And I won't set you free
I'll always leave the lights on
And you'll return to me
Please don't lose the keys
I won't hold you hostage
Please don't lose the keys
I won't hold you hostage

This might hurt
Come back to earth, come back to earth yeah

I won't hold you hostage
And I won't set you free
I'll always leave the lights on
And you'll return to me
No I don't want your ransom
Just say you'll never leave
Just say you'll never leave
I'll always leave the lights on
And you'll return to me
Please don't lose the keys
I won't hold you hostage
Please don't lose the keys
I won't hold you hostage
Please don't lose the keys
I won't hold you hostage
I won't hold you
