Runaways

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
