Runaways Lyrics By The Killers

    blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
    a blueeyed 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

    pre
    but that ain’t much
    we can’t wait till tomorrow
    you got to know that this is real baby why you want to 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 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

    pre
    we can’t wait til tomorrow
    you got to know that this is real baby why you want to 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 going to 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 now we only fight
    baby are you lonesome now

    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
    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 want to hide it
    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 going to let you run away
    i knew it when i held you i wasn’t letting go

    oh oh oh

    ain’t we all just runaways
    yeah runaways
    ain’t we all just runaways
    yeah
