The Killers - Runaways lyrics

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 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

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?

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 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
