I know in a minute I don't want to stay
The room will explode, noises in the night
Lucky for me I can run to my hideaway
It's the only place, day after day
The clouds form, the lightning takes shape
I gotta have somewhere I can escape
I gotta have my hideaway
Deep in my thoughts where I can pray
Gotta go there day after day
The monsters scary, gotta get away
Gotta have my hideaway
There it is, a spark in the peace
It makes me so scared I can only cry
It's hard being among these ones that can tease
And they'll call me a sissy if I say goodbye
If I start to cry
If I'm a little too shy
Or not quick to try
They'll shun me and tease me if I start to cry
I gotta have my hideaway
Deep in my thoughts where I can pray
Gotta go there day after day
The laughing kids, gotta get away
Gotta have my hideaway
A dream can turn into a nightmare
But some nightmares are more real to the touch
I can't stand to break up, I want to make up
Although I can't very well show it
I know she knows it
She's just gotta look below it
I'll make sure I don't blow it
This time
I gotta have my hideaway
Deep in my thoughts where I can pray
Gotta go there day after day
The unrequited love, gotta get away
Gotta have my hideaway
I gotta have my hideaway
Deep in my thoughts where I can pray
Gotta go there day after day
Life's problems, gotta get away
Gotta have my hideaway
