Hostage Lyrics
Falling up a flight of stairs
What went wrong where?
There's a room around a man
His eyes are gleaming, his arms around me
One hand in my hair, the other on a gun
And you look scared
"Back off or someone will die
Back off or someone will die
Back off or someone will die
Back off or someone will die"
He has me by the hair
He drags me down the hall
I'm falling up a flight of stairs
You never run away
Oh, to be you
"Back off or someone will die
Back off or someone will die"
He's a pretty little girl
He's my father
One way or another he'll get hurt
And talking him down is like making it rain
And oh, I'm dry
When all I've got is hurt or hurtful
I don't feel like sharing
It doesn't mean that I don't care
You never run away
Oh, I can run away
I run away real good
Maybe I should have when I had the strength
A winner never stuck with anything he couldn't do
What is my way to heaven?
"Back off or someone will die"
You never run away
"Back off or someone will die"
Oh, to be you
What went wrong where?
There's a room around a man
His eyes are gleaming, his arms around me
One hand in my hair, the other on a gun
And you look scared
Back off or someone will die
Back off or someone will die
Back off or someone will die"
He drags me down the hall
I'm falling up a flight of stairs
You never run away
Oh, to be you
Back off or someone will die"
He's my father
One way or another he'll get hurt
And talking him down is like making it rain
And oh, I'm dry
When all I've got is hurt or hurtful
I don't feel like sharing
It doesn't mean that I don't care
You never run away
Oh, I can run away
I run away real good
Maybe I should have when I had the strength
A winner never stuck with anything he couldn't do
What is my way to heaven?

This is the best way I think I can sum up how I my last few weeks have gone. I feel kinda lost with something, I want it to get better and like have everything just go back to the way things were.

this song is so amazing
when all that's left is a way to heaven, all hope seems lost. it seems he's at a place where nothing can save him. I love this song so much
"back off or someone will die" tell me who doesnt think that half of their life?
damn good song, if you ever get a chance to have jonah play a mini-set after a show, request this.....so very good live solo with 5-10 people around
great lyrics, nice beat with the vocals.
