Hide and Seek

from Homecoming by Ryan Garrett

/

about

This song is about searching for something, anything really, only to find it was right in front of you the whole time.

lyrics

Here we are now staring love and hate in the face
And laughing at the conflict
I never needed anything so strong
Now perhaps I've become an addict
Let's take the long way home
Lest you need to be alone
And yeah it scares me to see
Something I've never believed in right in front of me

I'm not clinging to the limbs of this cliche
I'm just holding on before it slips away
I spent my whole life just searching for the truth
I had my doubts and then found out I needed you
A bit shaken up but I won't run and hide
I'm not giving up, I'm still on your side

Looking back I see this mystery
Unfolding into our history
I never thought it could mean this to me
A love so blistering, so contradictory
And when the morning comes
Don't it cut you like a knife?
Be it for good or bad
Watching the dreams we had begin to come to life

Let's take the long way home
A little more time before the moment is gone
Less time to be apart
No more time spent alone

Because I'll hold onto you
Look around wherever you are
There will be no more playing hide and seek in the dark
