Runaways

Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind

A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand

I've been on her trail for a little while

But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand

The teenage rush, she said:

Ain't we all just runaways? We got time

But 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't 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 to 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't 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 this house

There's a picture of us on our wedding day

I recognize the girl but I can't settle in this walls

We can't wait 'till tomorrow

Now 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

Ain't we all just runaways?
