A.C. Newman - Hostages Lyrics

All these things growing, we don’t stay the same size
We slow down and we speed up sometimes,
It will surprise,
It will surprise you when you get the good news
You get what you want and you don’t know what to do.

There's a thin line between taking one more victory lap
And being on the run, it's just your path
Now watch us fly, just a blur going by
Watch us fly, now we’ve got hostages, too
If we don’t get what we want well you don’t know what we’ll do.

What to do with the with the silvery mirror of the new ring
With the wrinkles in our little stars time and time again.
High fives all around we can speed up or slow down
You worked like a charm, why'd you think you were broken?

We’re lucky, lucky ‘cause we don’t like to lose
We’re crawling through the failures for clues
And we're back for applause, you can put yours with mine,
Back for applause, you stump for hostages, too
If we don’t get what we want well you don’t know what we’ll do.

What to do with the with the silvery mirror of the new ring
With the wrinkles in our little stars time and time again.
High fives all around we can speed up and slow down
You worked like a charm, why'd you think you were broken?

What to do with the with the silvery mirror of the new ring
With the wrinkles in our little stars time and time again.
High fives all around we can speed up and slow down
You worked like a charm, why'd you think you were broken?

You worked like a charm, why'd you think you were broken?
