“Hideaway”
By Kiesza
Taking me higher
Than I’ve ever been before
I’m holding it back
Just want to shout out
Give me more
Chorus
You’re just a hideaway
You’re just a feeling
You let my heart escape
Beyond the meaning
Not even I can find a way
To stop the storm
Oh baby, it’s out of my control
What’s going on?
But you’re just a chance
I take to keep on dreaming
You’re just another day
That keeps me breathing
Baby, I love the way
That there’s nothing sure
Baby, don’t stop me
Hide away with me some more
You send me the shiver up my spine
Might overflow
You’re bringing me closer
To the edge of letting go
(Chorus)
Putting my head into the clouds
I’m floating home
When you get me going
I can’t find a way to stop
You’re just a chance
I take to keep on dreaming
You’re just another day
That keeps me breathing
Bringing me higher than
I’ve ever been before
I’m holding it back
Just wanna shout out
Give me more
(Chorus)
