Runaways lyrics

The engine starts and the window shakes They're fast asleep but I'm wide awake The driver looks back, takes one last check Killed his cigarette and stepped off the brakes And he said I've been a roman candle since I was born And I haven't found a road that can take me home 'Cause I'm a runaway Runaway Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate 'Cause I'm a runaway Runaway Like a sleepless child, in a hopeless place Well, I thought she was an angel just standing there Waving down her destiny with no care Then she sat right next to me with blood on her hands But when I saw those eyes, I just had to stare And she said Boy, I think I like you, but hold the line If you're trying to save me, you're wasting time 'Cause I'm a runaway Runaway Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate 'Cause I'm a runaway Runaway Like a sleepless child in a hopeless place Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate We were born to be the runaways Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate We were born to be the runaways 'Cause I'm a runaway, runaway Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate We found each other as the daylight slipped away 'Cause I'm a runaway, runaway Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate We were always born to be the runaways 'Cause I'm a runaway, runaway Below heaven's eyes, before heaven's gate We were meant to be the runaways
