[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
We can't wait till tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You got to know that this is real, baby, why you wanna 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 till tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 lettin' go

[Verse 3]
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 4]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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 gonna let you run away
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go
Oh, oh, oh

[Outro]
(Ain't we all just runaways?)
Yeah, runaways
(Ain't we all just runaways?)
Yeah
