Runaways

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 till tomorrow [Pre-Chorus 1] You got to know that this is real, baby, why you wanna fight it? It's the one thing you can choose, oh [Verse 2] 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 Someplace good We can't wait till tomorrow [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 lettin' go [Verse 3] 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? [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus 3] We can't wait till 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 [Chorus] 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 lettin' go Oh, oh, oh [Outro] (Ain't we all just runaways?) Yeah, runaways (Ain't we all just runaways?) Yeah
