We were both in elementary
Building castles out of bed sheets
Our only care was a bad dream
Just a bad dream
Singing off key in the back seat
Losing that race to keep you next to me
Wasting time like we need it
Thought we didn't need it
We'd run away
Run away
Play was our religion
We'd play to pray
Run away, hide away
We'd stay
Living for the day
Take take
Take it for a little while
Then break break
Break here for a little while
Wait wait
Wait here for a little while
From the teenage drama
You were 16 I was 18
When he you asked you to be his
I stood frozen like a bad dream
Like a bad dream
You never saw his house just his back seat
You'd cry each time he would try leave
Using you like he didn't need
Like he didn't need
He'd run away
Run away
Toy with your emotions
Like pay to play
Run away, without delay
He'd say
This time it's different babe
Take take
Take it for a little while
Then break break
Break here for a little while
Wait wait
Wait here for a little while
It's just teenage drama
I saw you again you were 30
Happily divorced, I asked what'd you mean
You said your 20s were bad dream
Bad dream
You had 2 kids in the back seat
They had his eyes but your cheeks
While you were leaving you turned to me
And said to me
Why don't we
Run away
Just, Run away
Forget our troubles from yesterday
Run away,
For old time sake
Pretend
We'll pick things again
I held your hand when we had to leave
Our grandkids clinging to the bed sheets
You asked if I could do one last thing
One last thing
Sing you off while we go to sleep
Lose this race with you next to me
Take the good with bad dreams
With bad dreams
Let's run away
Just run away
Live for forever not yesterday
Run away
And at the end we'll say
We wouldn't change a thing
