Hideaway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who could love you
In the way that you love you?
You're alone, darling
And there's nothing to argue
Your life revolves to ruin
Everyone's watching all that you're doing
Say your head's done in
Maybe you should start running

[Chorus]
Hideaway, hideaway
Where they'll never say you cannot stay
Come and play, my hideaway
Someday everything will be okay


[Verse 2]
You're not strong, so you
You could hurt her so badly

You don't mean to
Hurting her is too maddening
When you do, it's a war in your hand
What you mean to say isn't always what's said
Take a deep breath
As soon as you've let go
[Chorus]
Hideaway, hideaway
Where they'll never say you cannot stay
Come and play, my hideaway
Someday everything will be okay

[Bridge]
What's the point to this?
Feeling happiness in life?
As we fight off our demise
Or love as we play into it's lies
Oh, honey

[Chorus]
Hideaway, hideaway
Where they'll never say you cannot stay
Come and play, my hideaway
Someday everything will be okay

What did Passion Pit say about "Hideaway"?
Genius Answer

‘It’s a song based on a speech given to me by a nurse at a mental hospital about how I should never be a musician because everything I do is just gonna be analized and critisized and I just gonna put myself out there and is all going to deteriorate’
