Runaways Lyrics

You were always

Right across me

Like the shadow

Of a heartbeat

We were different

Call it forbidden love

Secret notes and

Secret pathways

Meet me out back

Quarter past eight

Like a romance

That had no chance

Could be saved

You pulled me close

Said that all we have is hope

We need to be saved

From a small town home

That will keep us both alone

I wanna escape

You'll be tragedy

I'll be fate

We can go like nobody's

In the way

Will you just hold on?

(Give it up)

Do it all for love

Fire burning

Inside your eyes

Then you take my hand

And we run through time

Living day to day

(Never stop)

And we'll never wait

We'll be runaways

Driving

Down the highway

Singing songs 'bout

Love and heartbreak

When you reach over

We both know

There's no time

You pulled me close

Said that all we have is hope

We need to be saved

From a small town home

That will keep us both alone

I wanna escape

You'll be tragedy

I'll be fate

We can go like nobody's

In the way

Will you just hold on?

(Give it up)

Do it all for love

Fire burning

Inside your eyes

Then you take my hand

And we run through time

Living day to day

(Never stop)

And we'll never wait

We'll be runaways

So we both packed up

Screaming "Don't miss us"

We will call each other

Our home

Moving right along

We were vagabonds

Like a young heart

Rolling stone

But the end

Would inevitably come

When you took my hand

On a Tuesday

Said that it's too late

This can't go on

All the time we spent

All the promises

Well I guess I wasn't the one

I'll tell this story

For years to come

He was tragedy

I was fate

We left like no one

Was in the way

I said "just hold on"

"Do it all for love"

There was a fire burning

Inside his eyes

Then he took my hand

And we ran through time

Should've known he'd wait

But would never stay

We were runaways
