Låttexten: Runaways

Run

There’s a battle inside it’s a war in my heart
and time it keep marching on

I try to believe what my eyes can not see
don’t know what is right or wrong

Running like a fugitive I’m far away from home
keep on running got to get away
escaping from this life the shattered walls

We are runaways runaways
just like vagabonds wandering
over wasted land

Cause we are runaways runaways
just like vagabonds wandering
on these roads we stay
we are runaways

Thought I’d broken the spell I was finally free
awake to a brand new day

But the look in my eyes says I lost all control
and it’s taking my breath away
running like a fugitive I’m far away from home

We are runaways runaways
just like vagabonds wandering
over wasted land

Cause we are runaways runaways
just like vagabonds wandering
on these roads we stay
until our dying day

Woah oh
we are runaways

Cause we are runaways runaways
just like vagabonds wandering
over wasted land

Cause we are runaways runaways
just like vagabonds wandering
on these roads we stay
until our dying day

Woah oh
we got to keep the faith

Woah oh
We will be runaways

Yeah we are runaways

Oh
We are runaways
