Boy & Bear - Hostage

Was a temperate night
You were warming up the breeze
But somehow I sympathize with the sirens
But they weren't there for me
As the next song tries harder to win over me
It's harder to win over me

I was overrun
I was slipping through your hands
But like a wound in salt
I was swimming for the sand
It was all the rage
To pretend I never had
Something too great to lose
It's too hard to understand

But love's light burns bright
But I find it hard to show
Inspect my pain
And I'll show you blow by blow
Is this my fate?
That's something I have to know
That's something I have to know

I was overrun
It was holding by a strand
I was like a wounded bull
But it was under my command
I was filled with rage
It was kicking up the sand
'Cause baby, they got me hostage now
But just ignore all their demands

'Cause love's light burns bright
But I find it hard to show
Inspect my pain
And I'll show you blow by blow
Is this my fate?
That's something I have to know
That's something I have to know

And I'm moving so high up the range
I'm learning to love right
But if I can't, just tell me straight
And I knew you felt all of my pain
But baby, I never meant to hurt you

But love's light burns bright
But I find it hard to show
Inspect my pain
And I'll show you blow by blow
Is this my fate
That's something I have to know
That's something I have to know

That's something I have to know
That's something I
Something I have to know
