Hostage

(5/21/2006)

“I wrote a lot of songs about this girl upon meeting her, and then lost touch for many years. When we reconnected, seeing her again made me re-evaluate my life.”

Looks like my mind has suddenly become a fugitive
Cause the very thought of you is being held captive
It’s a fragile situation, cause there’s no negotiation
That could set you free, so a hostage you will be
I’m not supposed to feel like this
It hurts to be without you when it’s plain that you exist
I don’t want to be someone left hanging on
To fragments of a dream
CHORUS 1:
If flowers and sunsets are beautiful
Then you’ve transcended above them all
You’re sexy in ways that you just don’t know
And I still see you when my eyes are closed

If you made a wish and blew an eyelash into space
I’d trace its path just to keep it safe
Until it reached the wishing well and then I’d tell
The man in charge to help me out
And grant them all today
You switched me on and you couldn’t turn me off
Not even if you tried to
I will not be complete until I’ve had the physical
Experience of you
I don’t want to be someone left hanging on
To fragments of a dream
CHORUS 2:
If deserts and rainbows are beautiful
Then you’ve transcended above them all
You’re sexy in ways that you just don’t know
And I still hear your name in the cadence of the rain
REPEAT CHORUS 1,2
