Let's play today
A game of keep-away
You try to keep me
But i'll run away

I'm over here, hiding
So come on and find me
I want you to search
'til you're right up behind me

And I think I'm still covered
But you're right at my back
Then I want you to scare me
Like I'm under attack

Oh, sometimes it just feels
So awfully wild
So terribly good
Just to play like a child

So I'll run for my life
But I won't have a chance!
You're too faster-than-me
You'll catch up with a prance

Then you'll hold me so tight
So I can't get away
And I'll act like I'll leave
But you know that I'll stay

You just win every time
And it's really no fair!
I won't play anymore!
I'll just sit down and stare

Right off into nothing
And ignore what you say
But you know how I tease
When we play keep-away

So we fume at each other
(it's just part of the game)
I can say something naughty
Just to put you to shame!

But I won't really do it
You're my only best friend
I won't make that threat
And risk causing the end

Then you'll tickle me wacky
Just to force on that smile
You can't stand when I'm mad
But you know it only lasts a while

I'll fall and roll like a madman
'Cause laughing hard hurts!
Then I'll die like a possum
Just lay down in the dirt

You'll lay down right beside me
As we make up every cloud
We recuperate now
We will stop being loud

That was when we were children
Now you're half my life story
And with hearts ever-childish
We'll  live on in this glory

We'll still play keep away
Just as long as we can
'Cause that spark's in your eye
And you just grabbed my hand
