It was the other side of midnight
In the heat of an August night
Ya know the signs ahead were clear to see
Confusion clouded the light
There were miles and miles between us
Many roads we’ve yet to go
Was it fear or desperation?
That we both had come to know?
There’s a place…it’s a getaway
Where troubles seem, woah, so far away
What was left in time is best kept behind
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been, no no no
It won’t take long, you’ll realize
Another state of mind waits within..
Hideaway, mmmm
The hideaway
Now the passing years have caught us
Very quickly by surprise
Yeah, a part of all that we can see
Has truly been contrived
As the walls begin to crumble
We’re unsure which way to go
When we long for consolation
Some direction to follow
There’s a place…it’s a getaway
Where troubles seem, woah, so far away
What was left in time is best kept behind
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been, no no no
It won’t take long, you’ll realize
Another state of mind waits within..
Hideaway, mmmm
The hideaway
(solos)
We have tried to live the good life
That was very plain to see
Working years to find that good life
Wasn’t all that it should be
When the cards were on the table
Players headed for the door
When you finally reach the bottom
Wonderin’ what it all was for
There’s a place…it’s a getaway
Where troubles seem, woah, so far away
What was left in time is best kept behind
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been, no no no
It won’t take long, you’ll realize
Another state of mind waits within..
Hideaway, mmmm
The hideaway
(solos)
What was left in time is best kept behind
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been, no no no
It won’t take long, you’ll realize
Another state of mind waits within..
Hideaway, mmmm
The hideaway
Hideaway…we’ll getaway…etc (outro)
Hideaway
