Lyrics Hostages - The Howl & The Hum

Hostages

I don’t wanna say goodbye like this
I’m watching as your face begins to fade
The last six months are waiting with its engine on
Our ugly rebounds waiting in their caves
So meet me on the bridge
We’ll hand over our hostages
A fake silver ring
Your books in foreign languages
You can keep the coat
It looks better on you
Anyway, I’m fine
I guess the cold’s a state of mind
Two lovers met
Two strangers left
You say I’m dead on the inside
Babe, I’ve known that for a while
And It wasn’t like you liked me
For my sunny views on life
Oh, I’m dead on the inside
Babe, I’ve known that all along
Any time I tried to love you
I got it wrong
So meet me on the bridge
We’ll hand over our hostages
Your dad’s broken watch
A letter to your old address
You just stay so cool
It looks better on you
Anyway, I’m fine
I guess alone’s a state of mind
So meet me on the bridge
We’ll hand over our hostages
We’ll shed our skin
And fade into acquaintances
This is how we die
Become just you and I
You turn round and smile
One final time
You were just a state of mind
And two lovers met
Two strangers left
