Lyrics

Hostage

[Verse 1]

You are the harvest

Your garden helps to feed me

I am your hostage

A simple logic

Use as you please

And I will remain ignorant and believe you

Foolish me, I can see through you

[Chorus]

You are the object

I get lost in, all in

I am fallin' hostage

I am free

Baby

[Verse 2]

And let her stay from thee

I'm turning up

Like a rocket in the sky, we're taking off

To a place where pure discretion is believed

Where the universe is yours and made for you

If you want my love, I will surely go

[Chorus]

You are the object

I get lost in, all in

I am fallin'

Hostage, I am the

Object I get lost in, all in

I am fallin'

Hostage I am free

[Outro]

If your keys were left, I would never go, yeah

Stay within the confines of your warmth

I'm free inside the cage of your heart of gold

Prison of your love, it makes me so

I'm your hostage

You are my love
