Verse 1
Every time you walk in, the room feels tight
I swear the clock stops when we lock eyes
We play it cool, yeah we play pretend
Like we don’t rewind every word you said
Laughing too loud, leaning too close
Talking ’bout things nobody knows
If this is nothing, then why’s it true
I don’t open up like this with you
Pre-Chorus
We say “just friends” like it’s a shield
But I feel the crack every time you smile at me
Chorus
Peekaboo, I see you staring too
Trying not to say what we both wanna do
Hide and seek with the truth we know
Every glance feels like a “don’t let go”
Peekaboo, yeah I catch your grin
You look away but you’re pulling me in
We’re dancing ’round something we can’t ignore
Just friends on the outside, but we’re more
Verse 2
There’s an invisible string tied around my chest
Every time you’re near me, it pulls again
We don’t touch, but it’s loud as fire
Every “what if” climbing higher
We talk for hours, forget the time
You read my mind like it’s a sign
If anyone asked, we’d both deny
But the silence between us tells a lie
Pre-Chorus
Too much history we’re scared to break
Too much drama for one wrong mistake
Chorus
Peekaboo, I see you staring too
Holding back words like I’m holding you
Hide and seek with the truth we know
Every laugh says “don’t let go”
Peekaboo, every almost kiss
Feels like we’re standing on the edge of this
We’re pretending we don’t feel it, but we do
Peekaboo… I see you
Bridge
Maybe we’re scared of what might fall apart
Or losing this before it even starts
But something keeps pulling me back to you
Like the universe is saying, “wait this through”
If I said your name a little too slow
Would you finally let your secret show?
Chorus (soft → big)
Peekaboo, don’t look away
We’re running from what we feel every day
Hide and seek, but the game’s not fair
’Cause my heart keeps finding you everywhere
Peekaboo, if I reach my hand
Would you meet me halfway, would you understand?
We’re more than friends and we always knew
Peekaboo… I see you
Outro
Still scared, still standing here
But that invisible string’s getting near
Peekaboo… one move from you
