The 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 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

And 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 on a distant side road down the way

I think that dust has settled on me

But I don't care, it was so calm

I knew I wouldn't stay forever

I knew I'd get some things together

And move on

But for now I'm out of the hideout

Far enough outside of town

And 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
