Hide Away
Jagger Mick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
I'm gonna pack up all my bags
Vanish while I can
Gonna leave this town behind
I'm gonna fly away
And no one's gonna find me
Keep my destination quiet
Take an early morning flight
Never tell a soul
Just light out on my own
I'm gonna fly away
And no one's gonna find me
I'm gonna wear some fake disguise
Change the colour of my eyes
Yes I'm going hide away
And you're gonna be surprised
I'll be wise before my time
I'm going hide away
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
I'm gonna rent a small hotel
Throw away my cell
Cut off all my hair
Sweep away my cares
I'm gonna fly away
And no one's ever gonna find me
I'm out of everybody's reach
Out on some twisted beach
I'm gonna hide away
Dissolve right out this scene
Out of everybody's dreams
I'm gonna hide away
Hide away [cont]
Hide away
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
Make sure that I never come back
Disappear and I never come back
