Little Hide Lyrics

Well, the title LITTLE HIDE i think says it all. From most of Gary's songs you can tell that he is trying so deeply to get through to a girl. It's the same with this. 'stares that i hold far too long, of course i know that it is wrong, but deep down inside i know you like it.' My personal opinion, i think Gary likes a girl that doesn't like him, or she is being in denial about her feelings for him as it says, 'but deep down inside i know u like it.' Love is a deep thing, so maybe Gary isn't overly romantic, perhaps he has just deeply fell in love. Because Gary loves the girl so much and she doesn't show the same feelings back, the only way for him to escape or numb the pain is to create a LITTLE HIDE for himself, which i think we could say we all have. 'I cant wait to get to bed, not so i can rest my head it means i can dream of you more in my little hide.'

Gary is in a way saying that his bed is his little world of escape with his dreams etc... thinking logically, when someone doesn't like us back in a romantic way, even subconcsiously we start to create a world of escape, a little hide where we pretend they like us cause of the rejection and pain we feel.
