Runaways Lyrics – The Killers

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]
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"

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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!

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers]
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-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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!

[Verse 3: Brandon Flowers]
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?

[Verse 4: Brandon Flowers]
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-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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

[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
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!

[Outro: Brandon Flowers]
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah, runaways
Ain't we all just runaways?
Yeah
