Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind
A blue-eyed boy playing in the sand
I'd been on her trail for a little while
But that was the night that he broke down and held my hand
I've had a crush on Niall since I was a tyke and I saw his blonde hair flowing in the wind and him playing in the sand. I didn't really talk to him until that night when he randomly grabbed my hand and cried telling me about his problems.
The teenage rush, he said, "Ain't we all just runaways, 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!
It took awhile for Niall to actually go on a date with me. It was when we were walking home from a movie (p.s. he held my hand in the cinema. He grabbed I did not.) That's when I told him to stop fighting his affection.
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 He says he might just runaway somewhere else, some place good
We soon got engaged I proposed he said yes. He also became pregnant and that night when he was asleep as I was holding the lad. I swore I'd take care of us. But I'm only human so some nights I stayed out to late at the pub. It got bad to the point I found a runaway letter niall was going to leave. He said he wanted a man who actually spent time with him and that he was leaving with the lad and going to find somewhere good.
It's the one thing you can choose
Let's take a chance baby we can't lose
Ain’t we all just runaways?
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go
It was then that I spent more time with him. I wasn't let him runaway I won't let him 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?
We use to grab a blanket and lay in the backyard talking about our dreams as we looked at the stars are arms around each other. We use to laugh and have fun but now we fight all day. Mostly about me cheating. He told me was lonely and that this marriage is dying.
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 guy but I can't settle in these walls
One night I came home late as I stumbled to the bed I froze when I saw our wedding picture. I recognize Niall he's still gorgeous and caring but I didn't know the guy holding him and smiling. I wasn't him I was a shell of what he is.
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive and we all just runaways
I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew it when I held you, I wasn't lettin go, no no no!
I started coming home early and we finally went back to stargazing and talking about our dreams. I grabbed his hand I knew from that moment I still wasn't letting go.
