Blonde hair blowin' 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

The teenage rush, she said, "ain't we all just runaways, we got time"

Well 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

She says she might just runaway somewhere else, some place 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 runaway

I knew it when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go

We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams

Hold each other to 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

Now 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 and 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, no no no!

(No no no!)

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah runaway

Ain't we all just runaways?

Yeah
