Hideout

Look at that green
out through the screen
after a quick rain came
so fast that
there wasn't time
to roll up the windows
and pull the clothes down off the line
but i don't care
it was so dry
and the grass is happy
and i think 'so am i'
'cause i'm through thinking about you

for now i'm out at the hideout
far enough outside of town
you can come
you can stay
if there's something you need
to get away from

look at the day dropping away
hear the traffic pass along
a distant sideroad down the way
i think the dust has settled on me
but i don't care, it was so calm
i knew i wouldn't stay forever
knew i'd get some things together
and move on

but for now i'm out at the hideout
far enough outside of town
you can come, you can stay
if there's something you need
to get away from

i just thought of you
and what you said
laid out on the pullout
did you forget?
you said you wouldn't forget

look at that green
out through the screen
after a quick rain came
so fast that
there wasn't time to roll up the window
and pull the clothes down off the line
but i don't care
it was so dry
the grass is happy and i think 'so am i'
'cause i'm through thinking about you

and for now i'm out at the hideout
far enough outside of town
you can come out
you can come out
when there is no one around
all out at the hideout
far enough from being found
you can come, you can stay
if there's something you need
to get away from
