Hideaway
Liv Harris Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day I run away someplace safe
To find a way fighting things I can't change
Right now, right now I need space
Right now I need a getaway

Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh

I need a hideaway (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Somewhere I can stay when I feel this way
I always think of the time that you said
Between the trees and lay our heads
Towards the stars I can't see from my city
Fall around me

Ohh

Another day, another old hiding place
Caught out afraid from feelings that I can't trace
Right now, right now I need space
Right now I need a getaway

I need a hideaway (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Somewhere I can stay when I feel this way
I always think of the time that you said
Between the trees and lay our heads
Towards the stars I can't see from my city
Fall around me (Fall around me)
Stars I can't see from my city
Fall around me (Fall around me)
Stars I can't see from my city

I always think of the time that you said
Between the trees and lay our heads
Towards the stars I can't see from my city
Fall around me (Fall around me)

Ohh
Hey yeah
