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 'til 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 got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild It's in my blood He said she might just run away somewhere else Someplace good We can't wait 'til 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 run away 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 'til the morning light We used to laugh, now we only fight Baby, are you lonesome now? 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 We can't wait 'til 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 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 letting go Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Ain't we all just runaways? Yeah, runaways Ain't we all just runaways? Yeah

I sleep dreaming of a runaway These days when I look on I can't see straight I can't see much at all But I know what I want there's a train up ahead And I don't got tickets but I'm hoping to catch So take me far So away from here I'm homesick sitting here in my room There's poison in the air this afternoon But I sleep dreaming of a runaway Where I can say goodbye and pack my bags I won a golden ticket to LA And the stage is set for the runaways I sleep dreaming of a different place In a city that's so far away I won a golden ticket to LA And the stage is set for the runaways Some days I look back On the mistakes and the earthquake heartbreaks Don't get too close But don't leave me alone Cause things have changed and I remember I lost myself in that December So I burnt it all down and searched the embers For what's left of me But I sleep dreaming of a runaway Where I can say goodbye and pack my bags I won a golden ticket to LA And the stage is set for the runaways I sleep dreaming of a different place In a city that's so far away I won a golden ticket to LA And the stage is set for the runaways So breathe in and tell me you're fine Alright look at me no look me in the eyes And like life's not bad here I'll admit But I wanna see the world and remember it So breathe in and tell me you're fine Alright look at me now look me in the eyes And like life's not bad here I'll admit But I wanna see the world and remember it Well I sleep dreaming of a runaway Where I can say goodbye and pack my bags I won a golden ticket to LA And the stage is set for the runaways I sleep dreaming of a different place In a city that's so far away I won a golden ticket to LA And the stage is set for the runaways (I won a golden ticket to LA) Woah oh woah

From the get-go, I knew this was hard to hold Like a crash, the whole thing spun out of control Oh, on a wire, we were dancing Two kids, no consequences Pull the trigger without thinking There's only one way down this road It was like a time bomb set into motion We knew that we were destined to explode And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage You know I'm never gonna let you go We're like a time bomb Gonna lose it, let's defuse it Baby, we're like a time bomb But I need it, wouldn't have it any other way Well, there's no way out of this, so let's stay in Every storm that comes also comes to an end Oh, resistance is useless Just two kids stupid and fearless Like a bullet shooting the lovesick There's only one way down this road (come on) It was like a time bomb set into motion We knew that we were destined to explode And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage You know I'm never gonna let you go We're like a time bomb Gonna lose it, let's defuse it Baby, we're like a time bomb But I need it, wouldn't have it any other way Let me see those hands! Got my heart in your hands Like a time bomb ticking It goes off; we start again When it breaks, we fix it I've got your heart in my hands Like a time bomb ticking We should know better But we won't let go It was like a time bomb set into motion We knew that we were destined to explode And if I had to pull you out of the wreckage You know I'm never gonna let you let me go We're like a time bomb Gonna lose it, let's defuse it Baby, we're like a time bomb But I need it, wouldn't have it any other way
