Runaways
Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
I'd been on her trail for a little while
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
A teenage rush
She said
"Ain't we all just runaways?"
We got time
And that ain't much
We can't wait till tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby
Why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose
We got engaged on a Friday night
I swore on the head of our unborn child
That I could take care of the three of us
But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild
It's in my blood
She said she might just runaway
Somewhere else
Some place good
We can't wait till tomorrow
You gotta know that this is real, baby
Why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose
Let's take a chance, baby we can't lose
Ain't we all just runaways
I knew it when I met you
I'm not gonna let you
Runaway
I knew it when I held you I wasn't letting go
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
Hold each other till the morning light
We used to laugh now we only fight
Baby are you lonesome now?
At night I come home after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls
We can't wait till tomorrow
No we're caught up in the appeal, baby
Why you wanna hide it?
It's the last thing on my mind
I turn the engine over and my body just comes
Alive
Ain't we all just runaways
I knew it when I met you
I'm not gonna let you
Runaway
I knew it when I held you I wasn't letting go oh oh oh
Ain't we all just runaways
Yeah
Runaways
Ain't we all just runaways
Yeah
