It was out on the boondocks I found you
You said you were running as far as you could get
So I asked if I could join you
You said “So long as you know that we’ll never be coming back.”
We strolled down the markets of main street
Surely this world wasn’t made for us
So when the sky retired to twilight
We took flight with the stars as our roadmap to guide us
Oh child, I should have known
It’s a crime to run away with a baby so far from home
But maybe when we’re grown
We can find that rumored place in the mountains and settle down
Having absconded beyond city limits
We wound up on the ground, naked, only blanketed by
The gossamer of moonlight
Till we fell asleep next to each other
First the first time content in the infinitesimal niche
That we made on this planet
For a moment I’m in space out of stalemate
And the universe was frozen just long enough
To be absolved of all light
We finally found a spot in the country
Where we could make it on our own
But before the graduation of autumn
You said “I’m tired, and I wanna go home.”
Oh child, I should have known
It’s a crime to run away with a baby so far from home
But maybe when we’re grown
We can find that rumored place in the mountains and settle down
Oh child, I should have known
It’s a crime to run away with a baby so far from home
But maybe when we’re grown
We can find that rumored place in the mountains and settle down
Oh child, I should have known
It’s a crime to run away with a baby so far from home
But maybe when we’re grown
We can find that rumored place in the mountains and settle down
