In the park, getting sick of the swings
I ran after you
You were leaving for a far-off city so
I didn’t want to go home
They come to pick you up, and you’re driven away
I ran after the car as it started
I waved until you were out of sight

I was the faster runner
But this time, I’m running after you

I always won whenever we played tag
I didn’t realize I was falling in love
When it was my turn to run after you, I finally realized
I was running because I wanted to tag your back

Didn’t know how to stay in touch
I’d almost forgotten about your back
But on the platform across from me, I saw traces of your younger self
There you were
I suppose it wasn’t really you
But it could have been you, ah
Though I didn’t have the courage to speak up

Don’t want to admit it, I hate being such a wimp
It was so long ago

You won at hide-and-seek
But unable to hide these feelings of mine
What would I say, even if we met?
I don’t know
Don’t even know how to end things

You chased after me
I’d gotten used to being liked
Falling for you cuz I can’t see you anymore
Isn’t fair

Can’t play tag on my own
No love to be found
When it was my turn to chase you I realized
I wanted to tag your back

You won at hide-and-seek
My heart still aches for you
Wishing I could tag your back
One more time
I don’t want to be “It” anymore
Let’s hurry home
