From the recording Hide And Seek
This song is about a quirky relationship game of withholding, acceptance, and a strange sense of empowerment.
Lyrics
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
Ninety-nine, a hundred
Ready or not, here I come
To you it’s just a silly game
For me it’s not the same
I play Hide And Seek to escape the emptiness inside
Hide And Seek - Keep my eyes open wide
I feel better longer, it makes me stronger
I play Hide And Seek because of you
I play Hide And Seek because of you
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
I know darkness, I know light
Hiding places day or night
But at olly olly oxen free
It’s back to you and me
I play Hide And Seek to escape the emptiness inside
Hide And Seek - keep my eyes open wide
I feel better longer, it makes me stronger
I play Hide And Seek because of you
I play Hide And Seek because of you
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na
It isn’t always easy
Sometimes it gets intense
We’ve both been on the fence
But somehow it makes sense
I play Hide And Seek to escape the emptiness inside
Hide And Seek - Keep my eyes open wide
I feel better longer, it makes me stronger
I play Hide And Seek because of you
I play Hide And Seek because of you
