I was at our old school, sitting in the sun
Waiting for the passing trains
Wishing you were here
And wishing we could run
Wishing we could run away
Right across a river in a town so small
The leaves are gonna change us when they start to fall
Take us to the city where we'll have it all
We'll have it all
Oh...
Oh yeah
I would run away with you now
We could do the things we promised we would always do
Take a train to Timbuktu
We could join the circus
Oh yeah
Would you just escape with me now?
We could do the things we promised dreaming wide awake
Take me back to yesterday
We could be the runaways, oh
We could be the runaways
Away
Away
Yeah, we could be the runaways
