Hideaway
Tony Vida Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm falling back to that place
Deep in the safe zone, but I need to let go
Of feelings I can't erase
I’m calm on the surface, I wish I could kick it...

Time and space, is floatin’ away
just caught in a wave
I'm tired of this masquerade

It's in my veins, i can break these chains

Cos I don’t wanna hideaway

I don’t wanna hide away
hide away
hide away ay ay
hide away hide away ay ay
I don’t wanna hide away
hide away
hide away ay ay
hide away hide away ay ay
I don’t wanna…

Chasing the rising sun
I’m just keeping the faith, this worlds what we make it
I can’t be the only one thinking we’d fall - no
Cos what if we fly
Get lost in the high
See a new world tonight
Watch it unfold before our eyes

Time and space, is floatin’ away
caught in a wave
I'm tired of this masquerade
in my veins, i can break these chains

Cos I don’t wanna hideaway
Cos I don’t wanna hideaway
