  • Can you pull the curtains? Let me see the sunshine
    I think I'm done with my hiding place and you found me anyway
    It's been forever, but I'm feeling alright
    Tears dry and we'll leave no trace, and tomorrow's another day

    Hide and seek, I am somewhere closed away
    You won't believe how long it's been since I started the game
    I can't be seen and you won't find me today
    I've not been this low, but I'll be okay

    "Are you alright?" Maybe don't ask
    'Cause you know I never like to talk about that
    Keep it inside, yeah, you say I always hold back
    And I always wear long sleeves
    Is it in your childhood? Something happen in your past?
    Well, the sadness, yeah, I promise that it won't last
    And if I could, I would try to take it all back
    There's still more underneath and that's when you say to me

    Can you pull the curtains? Let me see the sunshine
    I think I'm done with my hiding place and you found me anyway
    It's been forever, but I'm feeling alright
    Tears dry and we'll leave no trace, and tomorrow's another day

    Let me see the sunshine, shine, shine
    Let me see the sunshine, shine, shine
    Let me see the sunshine, shine, shine
    Let me see the sunshine

    Hide and seek, count to ten and close your eyes
    Try to breathe, see a message and don't reply
    Nice to meet, but in reality, say goodbye
    Life can be so beautiful if we try

    "Are you okay?" Yeah, I guess so
    But on some days, I feel like I'm trapped in a hole
    But I keep quite, so the ones around me don't know
    That the mountain feels so steep
    And I'll say that I'm here to help to carry the load
    And the outside rays, they are good for the soul
    So let's step out of the dark 'cause in here, it's so cold
    The day's not out of reach and that's when you say to me

    Can you pull the curtains? Let me see the sunshine
    I think I'm done with my hiding place and you found me anyway
    It's been forever, but I'm feeling alright
    Tears dry and we'll leave no trace, and tomorrow's another day

    Let me see the sunshine, shine, shine
    Let me see the sunshine, shine, shine
    Let me see the sunshine, shine, shine
