Hideaway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let's wrap a blanket 'round us
And go flyin' into outer space
We could be famous, speak a different language
Make our great escape

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll chase the stars inside your eyes
And follow you into the great unknown

We'll be alone

[Chorus]
So let's just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste
But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away

[Verse 2]
And build a city, something out of nothing
Make this place a home, a home
Stay make-believing, we'll go disappearing
Who would ever know?

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll never be too far apart
'Cause in the end, you and I both know
There's somewhere we can go

[Chorus]
So let's just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste
But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away

[Bridge]
Just want to hide away
Hide away, hide away
Hide away, hide away
We'll never grow up
Just want to hide away
Hide away, hide away
Hide away, hide away

[Chorus]
So let's just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste
But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away
So let's just play pretend and find a secret place
When the world around us says that we should act our age
The day is gonna come when there's no time left to waste
But we'll never grow up, I say we hide away
Don't make me grow up, I say we hide away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Hideaway” is a song interpreted by the young and talented singer-songwriter Grace VanderWaal, released on March 15, 2019, just like the film it serves as the official soundtrack: “Wonder Park”.

As the film deals with the story of an imaginative 10-year-old girl, June, who spent her childhood days constructing an amusement park filled with fantastical rides and inhabited by talking animals, called “Wonderland”, with her mother and her friends: however, eventually she lost her sense of imagination and had to cope with her mother’s illness. But one day, she finds the real “Wonderland” in the woods and teams up with the animals in order to take all the threats off and bring it back to life.

The song seem to take inspiration by this last theme, as amusement parks are made to feel people of all ages younger and more comfortable with themselves: just remember how Houston’s “Astroworld” has influenced Travis Scott’s life…
