Hostage Lyrics

It's been a long time since the two of us were joined up as one

We had some good times for a few years we forgot to have fun

Though splitting up was never what either of us intended

Now that's all past we're big and brave enough to try and be friends

Dinner at your house



We sit around and have a drink, catch up on people we know

Although it's awkward I appreciate you having a go

After a while your partner ducks out for a smoke and then he says

I'm tired excuse me if I stretch out on the sofa to rest

Dinner at your house



You have a weary look on your face

As if you're not in the right place

Happy? You say so

I would guess not though

It gives no pleasure to see

You look just like a hostage to me



He's fast asleep the TV's droning on about something boring

You flinch when he shouts to be quiet and then returns to his snoring

You look embarrassed, whisper sorry as we clear away the dishes

A glimpse I wish I hadn't seen how your relationship is

Dinner at your house



You have a weary look on your face

As if you've ended up in the wrong place

Happy? You say so

I would guess not though

It gives no pleasure to see

You look just like a hostage to me



If he loses his temper

That easily

There's two good reasons

For me to worry
