[Verse]
Hide, hide

You and I, you and I, I follow you
You and I, you and I, we're giving up sounds

[Outro]
You and I, you and I, I'll follow you
You and I, you and I, I'll follow you
You and I, you and I, I follow you, we're giving up sounds
You and I, you and I, I'll follow you
You and I, you and I, I'll follow you

You and I, you and I, I'll follow you we're giving up sounds

Would you like it?
Would you like it, to go?
