The city sleeps and I'm awake
I'm stuck in conversation
My mind is running red lights
To escape this situation
I hold my breath and bite my tongue
Pretend and play along
I rewind, reset, restart, repeat
Again when morning comes
[Verse 1]
I've been counting down from ten
Hoping it would make it end
I shut my eyes
I shut my mind
And hope it pass me by
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a broken soul
Think I've lost control
Cause you're making me your hostage
And if truth be told
I'm afraid of getting old
Cause you're making me your hostage
[Chorus]
The city sleeps, I'm wide awake
And breaking expectations
My blood is cold, my eyes are red
My knees can’t stop from shaking
I hold my breath and bite my tongue
Pretend and play along
I rewind, reset, restart, repeat again
When morning comes
[Verse 2]
I've been counting down from ten
Hoping it would make it end
I shut my eyes
I shut my mind
And hope it pass me by
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a broken soul
Think I've lost control
Cause you're making me your hostage
And if truth be told
I'm afraid of getting old
Cause you're making me your hostage
[Second Chorus]
I've been counting down from ten
Hoping it would make it end
I shut my eyes
I shut my mind
And hope it pass me by
I've been counting down from ten
Hoping it would make some sense
I shut my eyes
I shut my mind
Hostage
[Post-Chorus]
I'm a broken soul
Think I've lost control
Cause you're making me your hostage
And if truth be told
I'm afraid of getting old
Cause you're making me your hostage
