[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?

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
