Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand
I've been on a trail for a little while
And that was the night that she broke down
And held my hand

The teenage rush, she said:
Can't we all just run away?
'Cuz we got time
And that ain't much
We can't wait 'till tomorrow

You gotta know that this is real, baby
Why do you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose

We got engaged on a Friday night
I swore on the head of our unborn child
And I could take care of the three of us
But I got the tendency to sleep
When the nights get wild
It's in my blood
She said she might just run away to somewhere else
Some place good
We can't wait 'till tomorrow

You gotta know that this is real, baby
Why do you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose

A second chance, baby, we can't lose
Here we are, just runaways

I knew it when I met you
I'm not gonna let you run away

I knew it when I had 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 now we only fight
Baby, are you lonesome now?

And I came home after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling ghost, I haunt this house
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 'till tomorrow

Now 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

We're all just runaways
I knew it when I met you
I'm not gonna let you run away

I knew it when I had you
I wasn't letting go

We're all just runaways

We're all just runaways
