Hide And Seek

Mm… yeah

Can you feel me in the dark?

Can you feel my breath on your neck in the dark, no light, just trees and heart?

You said, “Let’s play a game, no phones, no streetlights, just you and the dark.”

You turned around with that grin I know, said, “If you find me, don’t let go.”

Now every sound that cuts this night is you asking me to cross that line.

You’re the one who chose this forest, chose this path and closed your eyes.

Said, “I wanna feel you find me when I can’t see where you hide.”

Every twig that breaks behind you, every hush of leaves I move through,

You slow down when the air turns warm, that’s me getting close to you.

You run, but you keep looking back,

You run ’cause you know I’m on your track.

Hide and seek under a new-moon sky,

You can’t see me but you feel me breathing by.

Your pulse kicks up when I’m getting close,

Hot fear, soft thrill wrapped around your throat.

Hide and seek and you’re losing sleep,

Every step you take just summons me.

You don’t really want safe and sweet,

You want the dark that you trust in me.

I drag my feet just to hear you wait,

You pause in the trees just to test your fate.

You stumble once just to feel my hands,

Catch your waist like it’s part of the plan.

You laugh, “You’re slow,” but your breathing shakes,

You only tease so I close that space.

You know the beat picks up when I draw near,

Every hit of the drum is another fear.

You run, but you write every rule,

You run, but you feed this, too.

Hide and seek under a new-moon sky,

You can’t see me but you feel me breathing by.

Your pulse kicks up when I’m getting close,

Hot fear, soft thrill wrapped around your throat.

Hide and seek and you’re losing sleep,

Every step you take just summons me.

You don’t really want safe and sweet,

You want the dark that you trust in me.

Show me the side that you save for the night,

All of the hunger you hide from the light.

Whisper my name and I’ll change my pace,

Pull me in close and I’ll give you no space.

You said, “Follow me deeper, don’t let me rest,

I wanna feel your breath right under my chest.”

You hide your face but you bare your neck,

You said, “I want the way you make me forget.”

If you ever say “enough,” I’ll fade,

But you drag me closer every time you’re afraid.

You run ahead just to reel me in,

You only hide so I can find you again.

Hide and seek under a new-moon sky,

You can’t see me but you feel me breathing by.

Your pulse kicks up when I’m getting close,

Hot fear, soft thrill wrapped around your throat.

Hide and seek till your legs grow weak,

Till you turn around and put your hands on me.

You don’t really want me to leave,

You only run so I can make you breathe.

Mm…

You only run so I can make you breathe.
