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"

But that ain't much

We can't wait 'til tomorrow

You gotta know that this is real, baby

Why you wanna fight it?

It's the one thing you can choose, oh

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

He said she might just run away somewhere else

Someplace good

We can't wait 'til 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 run away

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 'til 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 'til tomorrow

Oh, we're caught up in the appeal, baby

Why you wanna hide it?

It's the last thing on my mind

(Why you wanna hide it?)

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 run away

I knew it when I held you

I wasn't letting go

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah, runaways

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah
