Lyrics for Live in a Hiding Place

There are times that I should try, to be so much more alive But if time was right then I would be with you again Or do you worry that I try to avoid the point and then deny The time I spent deciding it was you again It's when I live in a hiding place It's the only way I feel safe When I'm safe in a hiding place (That's not hidden now) I'm safe in a hiding place It's the only way I feel safe When I'm safe in a hiding place And you're full of facts but not things that could add up to words Think about meaning more as an after word As an after word I return but don't remain, I'm impatient for a reason To complain about winter, making me see through again Or is it your damaged reply, that makes me realise that The more I try the less that plans will help me comprehend again So I live in a hiding place It's the only way I feel safe When I'm safe in a hiding place (That's not hidden now) I'm safe in a hiding place It's the only way I feel safe When I live in a hiding place And you're full of facts but not things that could add up to words You think about meaning more as an after word And you're full of facts but not things that could add up to words You think about meaning more as an after word As an after word.
