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
But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
Teenage rush, she said, ain't we all just runaways
We got time
But that ain't much

We can't wait till 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 have the tendency to slip when the night's still wild
It's in my blood
She said she might just runaway somewhere else
Someplace good
We can't wait till 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
Runaway
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 then I come after they go to sleep
Like a stumbling ghost, I'll haunt this halls
There's a picture of us on our wedding day
I recognize the groom but I can't settle in this 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 day 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 had you
I wasn't letting go
