Hide and Seek

Lyrics

[Intro] (La-la-la-la, la-la la-la la La-la-la-la, la-la la-la la) [Verse 1] The terrors of my youth lay in the hours right before bed In the unlit hall and under stair Shadows growing in my head And swimming between dials Held tangling my feet Could be hunters of the deep Hungry creatures' waiting teeth Essentially all unknown Nothing like unringing phones And now the thing that haunts me before I sleep Is a little children's game called [Chorus] (Hide and seek) Just a little game we both will play (Hide and seek) Will I run or do I stay I keep trying to find the words to keep you near But I fear (La-la-la-la, la-la la-la la La-la-la-la, la-la la-la la) [Verse 2] Every day about this time I'm a little more aware Of the shadows of the pond Growing ever long All those freighters out there Queueing up at sea They all look like little toys to me Now they, the things that seem so terrifying Are setting suns and scanning bars And peering through windshields of darkened cars And it's getting dark And we are about to play [Chorus] Hide and seek (Hide and seek) Just a little game we like to play Wonder if tonight you're gonna stay (Hide) Depending on the mood, or day of the week (Hide) [Bridge] I keep trying to find the words to keep you near Next thing I know I find you disappear And I find us playing [Chorus] Hide and seek (Hide and seek) Hide and seek Hide and seek (Hide and seek) Hide and seek Playing hide and seek (Hide and seek) Hide and seek [Outro] (La-la-la-la)
