Hide Away letra

I saw the fire the day that I met you crackling
Felt the flames up close and licking my face
And it was too hot, too hot to bear
And it ate up, ate up all of the air

We felt the ground shifting slowly underneath
The land pulling apart beneath our feet
So we wait for, wait for the rain
And we try to invent games to keep ourselves sane

Now we settle on the edge of the world
We just left behind and now we settle down
And watch from afar as our world comes to an end
And we hide away
And waste away all of our afternoons
And hide away
And wonder how many afternoons we have left

I lost the fire a year after I lost you
It fizzled out
It got too hard to keep stoked and healthy
I feel too, old too stiff to move
There seems no point, no light without you

Now we settle on the edge of the world
We just left behind and now we settle down
And watch from afar as our world comes to an end
And we hide away
And waste away all of our afternoons
And hide away
And wonder how many afternoons we have left

You were slipping away
And there was nothing I could do about it
And you were getting worse every day
And all I could do was watch and wait
You would try to smile through it all
But sometimes you couldn’t manage that
And I was no help at all

And I'm sorry that in the end
There was nothing I could do
And I'm sorry you had to watch
Your world crumble down around you
And I'm trying to forget
The last time that I saw your face
But I think that it’s the one memory of you
I can’t seem to replace

Now I settle on the edge of the world
We just left behind
And now I settle down
And watch from afar as the world comes to an end
And I hide away
And waste away all of my afternoons
And hide away
And wonder how many afternoons I have left
And I watch and wait
As I see everything falling down all around me
And waste away as the water dries up
And the fires roll in
And I don’t mind, or wouldn’t if you were still here beside me
We’d hide away
