Taking it slow, but it’s not typical
He already knows that my love is fire
His heart was a stone, but then his hands roamed
I turned him to gold and took him higher
Well, I’ll be your daydream, I’ll be your favorite things
We could be beautiful
Get drunk on the good life, I’ll take you to paradise
Say you’ll never let me go
Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time only we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on my couch in the back room
Hideaway
Say you’ll never let me go
Say you’ll never let me go
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Say you’ll never let me go
Say you’ll never let me go
Say you’ll never let me go
Ah
Ah
Say you’ll never let me go
Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time only we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on my couch in the back room
Hideaway
Say you’ll never let me go
Say you’ll never let me go
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Say you’ll never let me go
Ah
Say you’ll never let me go
Ah
