Lyrics
Find another songBlonde 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 '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
He said she might just run away somewhere else
Someplace 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 run away
I knew it when I held you
I wasn't letting go
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
Hold each other 'til 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
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
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 letting go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah, runaways
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah
