I Would Rather Hide Lyrics
Joseph Arthur
In the night
I'm on my own
I'm going mind my telephone
I don't want to go outside
I don't want to go outside
Inside
I would rather hide
I feel a phantom fly from my fear
Follow the voice i sometimes hear
I don't want to go outside
I don't want to go outside
Inside
I would rather hide
Yeah yeah
I know where I am safe
When there's no one else around
I know where I am safe
When there's no one else
And there's no one left you can blame
I think aliens abducted me
I close my eyes
If i want to see
I don't want to go outside
I don't want to go outside
Inside
I would rather hide
I don't want to go outside
I don't want to go outside
Inside
I would rather hide
