It is a game of hide and seek
And we’ve found the perfect place
But we don’t know who is counting
Or how long they’re counting for
🩷🩷🩷
We didn’t make the rules
And we don’t know what will happen
So we keep our special secret
Only speak in smiling glances
🩷🩷🩷
We don’t know who to ask
And we don’t know who to trust
By day we wear a mask
Acting as we must
🩷🩷🩷
We’re afraid to peep outside
In case the game will end
Comfortable here together
The very best of friends
