Runaways (The Killers cover done for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge)
Blonde hair flowin’ in the summer wind A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand I’d been on a trail for a little while But that was night that she broke down and held my hand The Teenage rush She said, “Maybe I’ll just runaway, we got time” well that ain’t much… We can’t wait ‘til tomorrow You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna 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 says she might just runaway somewhere else, someplace good. We can’t wait ‘til tomorrow You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it? It’s the one thing you can choose Let’s take a chance baby we can’t lose Mean we’re all just runaways I knew that when I met you, I’m not gonna let you runaway I knew that when I held you, I wasn’t lettin go We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams Hold each other to 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 ‘til tomorrow No we’re caught up in the appeal, baby why you wanna hide it? It’s the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?) I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive and we all just runaway I knew that when I met you, I’m not gonna let you runaway I knew that when I held you, I wasn’t lettin go, no no no! (No no no!) (And we’re all just runaways) Yeahhhh runaway (And we’re all just runaways) Yeahhh
