She never got a break from all the pressure
Feeling of being stranded in a plain old empty desert
But she never let her walls break down
And all she wanted to do was leave this town
And that's why they all say
She's a runaway child
At this point, she's gone for miles
Don't know where she's going but that's okay
She'll figure it out some other day
Oh runaway child
Mmm,
Runaway
She was viewed no different than any other
But little did they know
They were only looking at the border
So she had enough and packed her things
Picked and chose just what to bring
She realized they never even knew her name
And that's why they all say
She's a runaway child
At this point, she's gone for miles
Don't know where she's going but that's okay
She'll figure it out some other day
Oh runaway child
Mmm,
Runaway
Today she still doesn't know just where she's going
But if anyone asks about it
She'll say she's leaving by the morning
Craze for curiosity
And loves to leave suspiciously
Does she even have an identity
She lives in a life of isolation
And it's no secret that she can't trust anyone
But she'll never let her walls break down
Never go back to that town
The hope in her heart and the light in her eyes
Keeps her going
She's a runaway child
Mmm
