lyrics

It seems like every time we try to figure out our lives,
something’s always getting in the way.
I finally know just what I want and now it seems like everyone
is trying to tell us what to do and who to be.

Well I don’t care what anybody else thinks
‘cause all this time it’s just been you and me.

Let’s run away and let’s get married it seems like the only choice
or else your mother’s gonna take you away from me.
Never again will you be lonely we don’t need anyone but us
and they can’t stop us if they can’t find us, they can’t control us if we run.
Let’s run away.
Oh let’s run away

We tell our friends about our plan and what we intend to do,
they look at us as if we were insane.
They say that they won’t hold us back although they don’t approve
because they know we’ll do it either way.

Well, I don’t care what anybody else thinks ‘cause all this time it’s just been you and me.

Let’s run away and let’s get married it seems like the only choice
or else your mother’s gonna take you away from me.
Never again will you be lonely we don’t need anyone but us
and they can’t stop us if they can’t find us, they can’t control us if we run.
Let’s run away.
Oh let’s run away

Our friends they give us money, some food, a place to stay.
But I can’t help but wondering if things are really gonna change.
If I’m running from my problems is this the only life I’ll know?
If I turn and run when things get bad am I really an adult?

Oh, let’s go back and start all over, I’m sure it’s what we need to do.
I’m not certain of a lot of things but I know that I need you.
Know that I’ll always be with you, and you’ll never be alone.
And if your mother will be waiting for you when you get back home
Don’t run away. I’m done running away, I’m done running away.
