Steve Lillywhite - Runaways 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 is not much 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 runaway somewhere else Someplace good We can't wait til 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 [Verse 3] Ain't we all just runaways? I knew it when I met you, I'm not going to let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go! [Verse 4] 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 5] At night I come home after they go to sleep Like a stumbling a 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 [Verse 6] 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 want to 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 going to let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go! [Outro] Oh! Oh! Oh! Ain't we all just runaways? Yeah, runaways Ain't we all just runaways? Yeah
