Run away with me
Lost souls and reverie
Running wild and running free
Two kids, you and meI met her at the park. I saw her running there, sweat dripping down her forehead and her cheeks flaming with the heat. She definitely had a small case of sunburn, to say the least. But what really caught my eye was her eyes. There was a sparkle of something vivid in them. I'll never forget that.
But that's when she really shocked me. The two of us jogging opposite directions, passing like any other strangers would without a second thought. Then I looked back. I saw her turn off the path and in that split second, she took a wild dive straight into the stream. Her laugh was infectious and I had to stop and stare. That's when she waved me over, and like the idiot I was, I let her pull me in.
And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegadesIt took me three days before she finally gave me her name.
Aster. She told me I was stupid for telling her mine so fast. She tried to make me guess, but it turns out I don't know a whole lot of flower names. I still call her Daisy sometimes. She hates that. But I think she kinda loves it too.
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
Renegades, renegadesI told her that third night that she was like nobody I'd ever met before. In three days we'd become inseparable. I couldn't leave her side. At that point, I was already considering dropping out of my accounting major "I need a good job" plans. Of course, I did, or I wouldn't be where I am now. Needless to say, she's also the one who convinced me I could make a living out of outdoor adventures. Turns out all you need is a GoPro and a little guts and your cliff diving videos go viral fast. I don't think anything was as scary as the hang gliding though. I'm never gonna forget the feeling of my feet leaving the earth that first time - and her laugh when I slammed into the tree before is made it 50 feet.
Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Go forth and have no fear
Come close and lend an earFinally on the two month anniversary of the day we met, I asked her if she'd be my girlfriend. I couldn't live without her. She shocked me out of my boring life into something so new and exciting I couldn't stand the thought of being without her. She meant everything to me and I wanted us to last forever.
When she said no, I broke down on the spot. She did too. And for the two weeks we didn't talk after, that's what I couldn't get off my mind. Missing her, and making her cry.
It's our time to make a move
It's our time to make amends
It's our time to break the rules
Let's begin...
After those two weeks I couldn't take it anymore. I called her up and begged her to stay, even if it meant we'd just be friends. I poured my heart out, honest to God I did. I couldn't live without her. She was my inspiration and my whole world and I was falling apart without her. Yeah, the both of us cried a lot of tears that night. But I finally drove out to her place and in a mess of tears in my arms she finally told me why she said no. I told her I didn't care if she couldn't have kids. I needed her. I wasn't gonna let anything stop us. She finally said yes.
And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
Renegades, renegadesI'm never letting her go.
