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 Pre-Chorus 1 But that ain't much We can't wait till tomorrow You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to 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 Pre-Chorus 2 We can't wait til tomorrow You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to 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 going to let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting 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 want to 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 going to let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go Outro Oh Oh Oh Ain't we all just runaways Yeah, runaways Ain't we all just runaways Yeah
