Whenever I’m relieved, I get anxious For instance, right now So I’ll set “right now” down at the very tip of the future and forget about it. My past thought it My present repeated it. Warm things will cool, so I’m afraid to touch them. If I don't accept them, I'll never lose them. My past asks if I’m ready My present says it’s not yet. There are places to hide everywhere. That’s because I’m always at the very core of my world. Soon I’ll be found and then I’ll be “It!” An endless game of hide & seek with me as the seeker. I shouldn’t have met you. I shouldn’t have said anything. Shining things will shed light on me, so I’m afraid to get close to them. If I don’t see them, I won’t lose sight of them. My past didn’t cry My present looks like it will. Whenever I’m miserable, I grow content For example, right now. So until I reach the end of the future,  I’ll use “right now” as my umbrella. My past ran away My present got caught. I’m good at hiding even from Myself. That’s because Myself also has to seek. Soon Myself will find me and I’ll be “It!” An endless game of hide & seek with I & Myself. The hider shouts “Ready yet?” again and again The seeker replies with the familiar, ‘Not yet!’ “Hey, come on.” “It’s a two-choice problem.” “There’s a time limit.” ‘I know all that!’  I want to puff out my chest and fearlessly scream it! You are warm and shining, but There’s a future that will find me afraid of you. So to kill that future, I’ll shout out “Ready or not, here I come!” My past asks if I’m ready, my present says ‘I am now!’ There was always a place to hide Inside of my heart, but now I find you, and I hide in you. A game of hide & seek where  I never have to seek. If you’re afraid too, hide in me, And we won’t have to seek anywhere—we’ll both be right here! Here I come! Because I’m playing A game of hide & seek in your heart. I have to meet you— I have to go meet you soon— I have to go quickly— I have to say just the right words, one more time.

安心すると 不安になるね 例えば 今
だから今を 未来の外れに 置いて忘れよう
そう思った 過去 繰り返した 今

温かいものは 冷めるから それが怖くて 触れられない
貰わなければ 無くす事もない
もういいかい 過去 まぁだだよ 今

隠れる場所は どこであろうと 常に世界の中心だから
すぐ見つかって オニにされるよ ずっと探す側の かくれんぼ

君に会わなきゃ良かった 何も言わなきゃ良かった

輝くものは 照らすから それが怖くて 近寄れない
見つめなければ 見られたりしない
泣かなかった 過去 泣きそうな 今

絶望すると 楽になるね 例えば 今
だから今を 未来の果てまで 傘代わりにして
逃げてきた 過去 捕まった 今

隠れ上手な 自分であろうと 探す役目も自分だから
また見つかって オニにされたよ ずっと僕と僕との かくれんぼ

隠れた方が叫ぶ「もういいかい」何度目の事
探す方はお馴染み『まぁだだよ』
「なぁ、お前さ、」「二択問題なんだぜ」「時間制限あるんだぜ」
『そんなの解ってるよ』胸を張って 怖れないで 叫びたいよ

温かくて輝いている君を 怖がる僕を 見つける未来を
仕留めるために せーの!で叫ぶよ
もういいかい 過去『もういいよ』今

隠れる場所は いつであろうと 僕の心の中だったけど
君を見つけて 君に隠すよ ずっと探さなくてもいい かくれんぼ
君も怖いなら 僕に隠れて どこも探さなくてもいい ここにあるよ
すぐに行けるよ なぜなら僕は 君の心の中で かくれんぼ

君に会わなきゃ 今すぐ会いに行かなきゃ
急いで行かなきゃ もう一度 ちゃんと言わなきゃ
