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
[PreChorus]
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 run away somewhere else
Someplace good
[PreChorus]
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
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 run away
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go
[Bridge]
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 3]
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
[PreChorus]
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 going to let you run away
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go
[Outro]
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah, runaways
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah
