"Hostages" Lyrics:
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

This song is ridiculously brilliant. What a voice.
ridiculously brilliant? I wish i'd said rhat as much as I wish i'd wrote that song
Good God, my faith in humanity is restored
Those "unplugged" live versions are hauntingly beautiful.
It's uncanny how we are in different corners of this planet living so similar experiences. The first time I listened to this song I could just feel as if it was me singing it, so much were the similarities with things I had lived.
A masterpiece I wish I had written, but that I'm glad somebody did. You're brilliant.
Two years later I was shown this song, this song gives me emotions I can’t articulate. I feel I lived a whole lifetime and then some with a deep love. Eventually coming to the realization that it was never gonna work.
The most underrated band I've listened to. Found you only a few months ago, but you're quickly turning into one of my favourites!
Utterly beautiful. Maybe the saddest truest break up song I know.
"You were just a state of mind" ...you hit that really deep in the soul...
Heartbreak + Time = masterpiece music
This is just a pure masterpiece. Every ounce is quite simply perfection. Thank you for bringing these sounds together for my ears, brain, body and hairs on the back of my neck to experience.
I got to see this live in June in Colchester and I'm so pleased. It was such an amazing night. Thank you x
These lyrics are phenomenal. So glad Spotify told me today that I would like you ❤
I've also got Spotify release radar to thank for this!
Absolutely incredible!
This song hurts.
It's 2023 and I'm still waiting on on the bridge love this song
the voice sounds so soft to touch
This may be my favorite song of all time. The vocals give me goosebumps every time. Sending love from Florida 💛
Going through a breakup and couldnt control my tears after listening to this

Anyone know is this standard tuning and what are the settings on the amp? It's such a great tone on the guitar....probably a very expensive strat but it doesn't sound totally clean. I love this. It's a super singer songwriter performance.

Im so glad my girlfriend told me about this song :))
