Testo Runaways

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 brakes
And he said
"I've been a Roman candle since I was born
And I haven't found a road that can take me home"
'Cause I'm a runaway
Runaway
Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
'Cause 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
And she said
"Boy, I think I like you, but hold the line
If you're trying to save me, you're wasting time"
'Cause I'm a runaway
Runaway
Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
'Cause I'm a runaway
Runaway
Like a sleepless child in a hopeless place

Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
We were born to be the runaways
Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
We were born to be the runaways

'Cause I'm a runaway, runaway
Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
We found each other as the daylight slipped away
'Cause I'm a runaway, runaway
Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
We were always born to be the runaways
'Cause I'm a runaway, runaway
Below Heaven's eyes, before Heaven's gate
We were meant to be the runaways
