Intro: (2x) Verse Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind, The 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. Bridge Teenage rush, she said, Ain't we all just runaways? We got time, but that ain't much, We can't wait...till tomorrow. Pre-Chorus You gotta know that this is real baby, Why you wanna fight it? It's the one thing you can't choose. Oh! Verse 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. Bridge It's in my blood, She said she might just runaway Somewhere else, some place good, We can't wait...till tomorrow. Pre-Chorus 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... 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 letting go. We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams, Hold each other till the morning light, We used to laugh, no we only fight, Baby, are you lonesome now? Verse That 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...till tomorrow. Pre-Chorus 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! 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 letting go, Oh Oh oh oh (Ain't we all just runaways,) Ye - - eah! Run! (Ain't we all just runaways) Ye - E - E - eah!
