Hide & Seek
Ben Robertson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we're apart
Love from afar
I feel it when I rise
Rise and shine as quick as I can
Part the curtains a crack to let the sun in
I grab the guitar off of the stand
I've been meaning to write
But the words that I need
They play hide and seek
I thumb my nightside read
The words that I need
They play hide and seek
It's not so guaranteed
Love from afar
When we're apart
Love from afar
I feel when I stop
Stop at the spots where we would kick back
And pick up some fruit to fill your knapsack snap
Snap goes the camera its a moment that
I won't soon forget until the next time comes
Can't come soon enough
I could try to bluff
But wheres the fun in that
Can't come soon enough
I could try to bluff
But that's not where I'm at
Love from afar
When we're apart
Love from afar
When we're apart

I feel when I stop
Feeling the love when pausing to think about the person
Stop at the spots where we would kick back
Visiting places of past experiences shared with the person
And pick up some fruit to fill your knapsack snap

Snap goes the camera its a moment that
Capturing moments in time to remember and revisit
I won't soon forget until the next time comes
Holding onto these memories until the next experience shared
Can't come soon enough
Desire for the next time together to come quickly
I could try to bluff
Attempting to make it seem like it's not a big deal
But wheres the fun in that
But that wouldn't be true or genuine
Can't come soon enough
Desire for the next time together to come quickly
I could try to bluff
Attempting to make it seem like it's not a big deal
But that's not where I'm at
Being true to feelings and not trying to hide them
Love from afar
Expressing love even though the person is not present
When we're apart
During the time when the person is not present
Love from afar
Expressing love even though the person is not present
When we're apart
During the time when the person is not present
