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.
The teenage rush, she said,
maybe'I'll just runaway
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´t 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 said 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´t choose,
Let´s take a chance baby we can´t lose
Mean we're all just runaways
I knew that when I met you, I´m not gonna let you
Runaway!
I knew that 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 recognise the girl but I can´t settle in these walls,
We can't wait 'til tomorrow.
No 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!
And we all just runaways,
I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you
Runaway!
I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go,
Oh Oh oh oh (And we all just runaways)
Ye - e - e - eah!
Run! (And we all just runaways)
Ye - e - e - eah!
