Lyrics
Hideaway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been watching how you dance
Watching how you smile
Watching how you carry yourself around in a crowd
And watching what you say
You've got something that's a secret to the average eye
You've been saving something nobody's seen until now
In a hideaway
I'm not trying to invade your privacy
There are things you have a right to hide
But it's, oh, so cold
Standing on the outside
Will you show me to your secret hideaway?
I won't tell nobody where I'm going
Won't you tell me that we're leaving right away
For the heart of your hideaway
Everybody's looking for a heaven on earth
A slice of paradise where nobody gets hurt
Someone to put the pieces back together again
When your daydreams die
Are you trying to get a message through the air to me?
Get me on your wavelength and tell me which way to go
To your hideaway
I can't stand another second in this tinker toy world
Give me your direction
Don't make me wait anymore
It seems so far away
You can trust me with your secret fantasy
You will never know until you try
But it's, oh, so cold
Standing on the outside
Will you show me to your secret hideaway?
I won't tell nobody where I'm going
Won't you tell me that we're leaving right away
For the heart of your hideaway
Everybody's looking for a heaven on earth
A slice of paradise where nobody gets hurt
Someone to put the pieces back together again
When your daydreams die
I've been trying to get a message through the air to you
Get on my wavelength
And I'll tell you which way to go
To my hideaway
I will show you to my secret hideaway
We will tell nobody where we're going
(I've been trying to get a message through the air to you) I will show you to my secret hideaway
(Get on my wavelength, and I'll tell you which way to go) we will tell nobody where we're going
(To my hideaway)
I've been trying to get a message through the air to you (I will show you to my secret hideaway)
Get back to get me on your wavelength
(We will tell nobody where we're going) I'll tell you which way to go
To find my hideaway
Woah (I've been trying to get a message through the air to you)
(Get on my wavelength, and I'll tell you which way to go)
You've got to find your way back to my hideaway
(To my hideaway)
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway (I will show you to my secret hideaway)
(We will tell nobody where we're going)
To my hideaway
