[Verse 1] I’m young and dumb and dizzy Pocket full of lies Visine in the side pouch Axe spray in disguise Mom says, “What’s that smell?” I say, “Fresh laundry, babe” Then I head for the treeline With my grin half-made [Pre-Chorus] Backyard gate, don’t creak Boots stay light on the boards If the porch light spins around I’m already out the door Got a little smoke and a little hope And a plan in my sleeve If they ask me where I’ve been I got a place to breathe [Chorus] Hide it good, hide it good Keep it out of sight Visine in my pocket Axe spray all night Hide it good, hide it good Don’t let it show Woods in the dark And the barn loft slow [Verse 2] Under pine bark shadows Where the mosquitos bite Me and two best idiots Trading sparks for light Then the can gets dented Then the bottle bends A little kitchen magic And the whole thing stands [Pre-Chorus] Backyard gate, don’t creak Boots stay light on the boards If the porch light spins around I’m already out the door Got a little smoke and a little hope And a plan in my sleeve If they ask me where I’ve been I got a place to breathe [Chorus] Hide it good, hide it good Keep it out of sight Visine in my pocket Axe spray all night Hide it good, hide it good Don’t let it show Woods in the dark And the barn loft slow [Bridge] Up in the attic rafters With the dust and broken beams We laugh at our own genius And our stupid teenage schemes One wrong step, one loud cough Whole world comes alive So we hold it in our hands Like we’re learning how to survive [Chorus] Hide it good, hide it good Keep it out of sight Visine in my pocket Axe spray all night Hide it good, hide it good Don’t let it show Woods in the dark And the barn loft slow [Outro] Young, loud, and careful Trying to look clean With a pocket full of cover And a heart too green Hide it good Hide it good
