Growing up is a such a cruel paradox
wiser, yet still want all the wrong things
Serious, imperious, too good
for childish dreams, yet
secretly still want to play games

Never thought it'd come to my mind
to flip off all my sober reasoning
Never took a drink in my life 
it all changed the moment I saw your face

Erase
all the pain 
of remembering
all that you broke 
so

Meet me behind the tree
where lips first met and hair was free
Lovely
as a bumblebee
The perfect place for hide-n-go-seek and
dreams that outshone the stars
dreams that
brought us to where we are

And now I can't go home 
I've lost my will
to stay away from the tree 
where my heart is still
Honey
if you want me
Go back to the place
where we used to be happy

Adulthood is a fucked place
the rent here is a blood price to pay
Much easier to dissociate 
you from all the sense I have gained since

Erase
all the pain 
of remembering
all that you stole 
so

Meet me behind the tree
where lips first met and hair was free
Lovely
as a bumblebee
The perfect place for hide-n-go-seek and
dreams that outshone the stars
dreams that
brought us to where we are,
​oh


You know I want you, I want you
You could be my sweetheart, honey
and make new pretty memories
You know I see you, I see you
You could be my sweetheart, honey
I'll go and forgive everything, so

Meet me behind the tree
where lips first met and hair was free
Lovely
as a bumblebee
The perfect place for hide-n-go-seek and
dreams that outshone the stars
dreams that
brought us to where we are

And now I can't go home 
I've lost my will
to stay away from the tree 
where my heart is still
Honey
if you want me
Go back to the place where we 
used to play hide-n-go-seek

(It's not you I love

It's the idea of
It's not you I love
It's the idea)
