Hide

I heard your story
Something ‘bout some guy with a plan
He said something ‘bout an idea that I swear you already had
But now you want it back again so you can sell it on back to your friends
I still feel too young to ever do what I’m told
Our blood runs hot but our heart beats cold
And our stubborn heads never let shit go
Even when we know we should
And we know we should
So we went missing while they were sleeping
We spread ourselves out and started dreaming
Of a quiet life we could leave behind
We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide
This story’s boring
Don’t waste your time setting the scene
Twenty kids can count 200 kids can see
A dozen folks will ride the rest of us will read about the places that we’ll never go
But we went to school ‘cos we do what we’re told
And we found some jobs and paid off our loans
Then we lost our jobs so let your parents know
That you’ll be moving home
So we went missing while they were sleeping
We spread ourselves out and started dreaming
Of a quiet life we could leave behind
We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide
Faster than they thought we could hide
So tell me where you been
We’ve been standing on the corner
Shouting on the corner waiting for someone to
Say something meaningful or just cynical
We need a miracle now, now, now, now, now
So we went missing while they were sleeping
We spread ourselves out, we spread ourselves out
To farms and cities across the country
We spread ourselves out faster than they thought we could hide
Faster than they thought we could hide
