Runaways by Naomi King Lyrics
The first thing in the morning
She got out of bed
Looked at the time and thought about
Everything he said
She walked across her bedroom
Ever so lightly
Not to wake her family
Sleeping so tightly
She slowly got dressed
And picked up her bags
The bags she packed
The very night before
She climbed out the window
Climbed down the ladder
Jumped the last few steps
And it came all at her
Shes running away from home
Shes running away from all shes ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing shes liked Is being with him
And now shes running away
The first thing in the morning
He got out of bed
Looked at the time and thought about
Everything she said
He walked across his bedroom
Ever so lightly
Not to wake his family
Sleeping so tightly
He quickly got dressed
And picked up his bags
The bags he packed
The very night before
He walked out the front door
Closed it ever so lightly
Got in his car And drove away quietly
Hes running away from home
Hes running away from all hes ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing hes liked Is being with her
And now hes running away
He drove down the street
And went to the place they said they'd meet
She ran into his arms
And finally felt shes out of harm
This is running away
Teenage castaways
Teenage runaways
The way they feel Its making it so real
They're running away from home
They're running away from all they've ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing they've liked Is being in each others arms
The first thing in the morning
They got out of bed
Looked at the time and thought about
Everything they said
They never listened
They never thought
They never considered
That it might be their fault
They walked into her bedroom
Looked at her bed Picked up the note
And read everything she said
Suddenly they knew
They never thought it was real
Now she left they'd never see her again
Shes running away from home
Shes running away from all shes ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing shes liked Is being with him
And now they're running away
Hes running away from home
Hes running away from all hes ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing hes liked Is being with her
And now they're running away
They're running away from home
They're running away from all they've ever known
It's what they've always dreamed
It's what they've always wanted
And now they've got it
They finally ran away
She got out of bed
Looked at the time and thought about
Everything he said
She walked across her bedroom
Ever so lightly
Not to wake her family
Sleeping so tightly
She slowly got dressed
And picked up her bags
The bags she packed
The very night before
She climbed out the window
Climbed down the ladder
Jumped the last few steps
And it came all at her
Shes running away from home
Shes running away from all shes ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing shes liked Is being with him
And now shes running away
The first thing in the morning
He got out of bed
Looked at the time and thought about
Everything she said
He walked across his bedroom
Ever so lightly
Not to wake his family
Sleeping so tightly
He quickly got dressed
And picked up his bags
The bags he packed
The very night before
He walked out the front door
Closed it ever so lightly
Got in his car And drove away quietly
Hes running away from home
Hes running away from all hes ever known
The last few months of life
The only thing hes liked Is being with her
And now hes running away
He drove down the street
And went to the place they said they'd meet
She ran into his arms
And finally felt shes out of harm
This is running away
Teenage castaways
Teenage runaways
The way they feel Its making it so real

It's what they've always wanted
And now they've got it
They finally ran away
