Runaways

[Verse 1]

I was at our old school sitting in the sun

Waiting for the passing trains

Wishing you were here

Wishing we could run

Wishing we could run away

[Pre-Chorus]

Right across the river in a town so small

The leaves are gonna change us when they start to fall

Take us to the city, where we'll have it all

We'll have it all

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, I would run away with you now

We could do the things we promised we would always do

Take a train to Timbuktu, we could join the circus

Oh yeah, would you just escape with me now?

We could do the things we promised, dreaming wide awake

Take me back to yesterday

We could be the runaways

[Verse 2]

Remember how that one time things were getting hard

I met you in your old backyard

We packed a couple bags and we stole your father's car

But we only ever got so far

[Pre-Chorus]

We drove across the river, left the town so small

The leaves are gonna change you when they start to fall

If we make it to the city, then we'll have it all

We'll have it all

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, I would run away with you now

We could do the things we promised we would always do

Take a train to Timbuktu, we could join the circus

Oh yeah, would you just escape with me now?

We could do the things we promised, dreaming wide awake

Take me back to yesterday

We could be the runaways

[Bridge]

Oh, oh

We could be the runaways

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, I would run away with you now

We could do the things we promised we would always do

Take a train to Timbuktu, we could join the circus

Oh yeah, would you just escape with me now?

We could do the things we promised, dreaming wide awake

Take me back to yesterday

We could be the runaways

[Outro]

Oh, we could be the runaways

Away, away

Yeah, we could be the runaways
