Hide & Seek
Come Find Me Waiting
Waiting In The Night
They Wonβ€²t Know
& We'll Just Pretend
Pretend That This Feels Right
Hide & Seek
Come Find Me Waiting
Waiting In Plain Sight
They Wonβ€²t Know
& We'll Just Pretend
Pretend That This Feels Right
You're Everything I Want
But I Wish You Wouldnβ€²t Lie
When You Tell Me That Youβ€²re Mine
When You Tell Me That You're Mine
Youβ€²re Everything I Want
But I Wish You Wouldn't Lie
I Wish You Wouldnβ€²t Try
I Wish You Wouldn't Try
Youβ€²re Everything I Want
You're Everything I Want
You're Everything I Want
But I Wish You Wouldnβ€²t Lie
When You Tell Me That Youβ€²re Mine
When You Tell Me That You're Mine
Youβ€²re Everything I Want
But I Wish You Wouldn't Lie
I Wish You Wouldnβ€²t Try
I Wish You Wouldn't Try
Hide & Seek
Come Find Me Waiting
Waiting In The Night
They Wonβ€²t Know
& We'll Just Pretend
Pretend That This Feels Right
Hide & Seek
Come Find Me Waiting
Waiting In Plain Sight
They Won't Know




& Weβ€²ll Just Pretend
Pretend That This Feels Right

Overall Meaning

The song "Hide & Seek" by Causeway is a melancholic and nostalgic ballad about a love that is hidden from the world. The lyrics express the desire to be found and loved, even though the relationship must be kept a secret. The singer pleads for their lover to come and find them waiting, either in the night or in plain sight, and to pretend that everything is alright, even though they know they are lying to themselves. The song is about the pain of loving someone who cannot or will not fully commit to the relationship.


The song captures the frustration and sadness of a love that must be hidden from the world. The lyrics speak to the feeling of wanting to be loved and accepted for who you are, but also the fear of rejection and judgment. The chorus of the song repeats the lines "You're everything I want, but I wish you wouldn't lie when you tell me that you're mine" and "I wish you wouldn't try," emphasizing the conflicted emotions of the singer.
