"Runaways" lyrics - THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA
[Intro/Skit]
Cab Driver: Good evening sir
Bjorn: Good evening
Cab Driver: So where ya headed?
Bjorn: I'd like to go... somewhere, Queens Street, East
Cab Driver: Sorry, Pal
You're gonna have to be a little bit more specific than that
Bjorn: I can't be more specific than that, I'm afraid
Actually you know what, just drop me off at the Royal York hotel
And I'll... I'll start my journey from there
Cab Driver: Your journey?
Bjorn: Yes sir, this is my journey back
I used to live in the city a long time ago
Down on the corner of Yonge Street and Dundas, it came to my mind
I sure do love this city, but sure feels like a dead end tonight
[Pre-Chorus:]
Then I said to myself, now or never
Gravitation was failing
Light as a feather
Sending myself down a path I just couldn't forsake
[Chorus:]
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else?
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways
They say that burdens are blessings, but I just don't know anymore
My feelings must've been laced, as I bled on Ontario shores
Whoa-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, I know I'll carry those moments forever
But gravitation was failing
Light as a feather
Sending ourselves down a path we just couldn't forsake
[Chorus:]
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else?
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways
[Bridge/Instrumental Break]
Every year holds a lingering sense
Where have I gone?
Every bridge I ever built was welcomed by a storm
Woo-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah!
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus:]
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else? (Everything else)
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways
Last night, I thought to myself
Are you the one I cherish above everything else? (Everything else)
Last night, it fell into place
We are nothing but runaways, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Outro/Guitar Solo]
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
Last night, last night, last night
