hide and seek

Am I at the diner outside where we used to eat?
Am I in our hometown crying in between the sheets?
But once you find me the game is over
And I can run but only so far
You've got a compass pointing you right back to me

I could buy a boat, sail off into the sea
Build a home in a foreign country
But you've memorized the places that I'll be
When you and I are playing hide and seek

Will you send our old friends out on a scavenger hunt?
You are the warden, I am the bandit on the run
But once you find me, the game is over
And I can run but only so far
You've got a compass pointing you right back to us

I could buy a boat, sail off into the sea
Build a home in a foreign country
But you've memorized the places that I'll be
When you and I are playing hide and seek

I could find a forest full of different trees
Build a stronghold out of all the leaves
But you'd always find a way to get to me
When you and I are playing hide and seek
(Seek, hide and seek)
(Seek, seek, hide and seek)
(Seek, hide and seek)
(Hide and seek)
(Hide and seek)
We're always playing hide and seek
You know the way to get to me
We're always playing hide and seek
You know the way to get to me

I could buy a boat sail off into the sea
I could build a home in a foreign country
But you'll always find a way to get to me
When you and I are playing hide and seek
