The engine starts and the window shakes
They're fast asleep but I'm wide awake
The driver looks back takes one last check
Killed his cigarette and stepped off the breaks
He said
Oooohhhh
I've been a Roman candle since I was born
And I haven't found a road that can take me home

Cuz I'm a runaway
Runaway
Below heavens eyes, before heavens gate
Cuz I'm a runaway
Runaway
Like a sleepless child, in a hopeless place

Well I thought she was an angel just standing there
Waving down her destiny with no care
Then she sat right next to me with blood on her hands
But when I saw those eyes I just had to stare
She said, ooohhhh
Boy I think I like you but hold the line
If you're trying to save me, you're wasting time

Cuz I'm a runaway
Runaway
Below heavens eyes, before heavens gate
Cuz I'm a runaway
Runaway
Like a sleepless child, in a hopeless place

Below heavens eyes, before heavens gate
We were born to be the runaways
Below heavens eyes, before heavens gate
We were born to be the runaways

Cuz I'm a runaway (Below heavens eyes)
Runaway (before heavens gate)
We found each other as the daylight slipped away
Cuz I'm a runaway (Below heavens eyes)
Runaway (before heavens gate)
We were always born to be the runaways
Cuz I'm a runaway (Below heavens eyes)
Runaway (before heavens gate)
We were meant to be the runaways
