Let's Play

if I were to tag you
would you play my little game
will you chase after
following me through the emotional dark
I promise if you declare a time out
I'll stop and sit with you
we'll talk about things and stuff
but don't you cheat and exclaim time in
then tag me and run away
I dibs a four second head start
it's only fair

but if you were to tag me
I'd play your little game
I'll chase after you
follow you through the caverns of time
but do you promise that if I exclaim a time out
will you sit with me
and talk about anything and everything
I promise I won't cheat and declare a time in
then tag you and run away
I'll give you a head start
it's only fair

So please play with me.

I promise to be nice.
