if we could

if we just ran away
who would know
would they look for us
if we sat up in the night sky and watched the day grow up
what would we talk about
would we talk about life and how meeting each other was so important
we would talk about the world and how we would visit everything
how we would grow old
drinking the liquor they sold and watching our faces grow old
we would drive so fast
the corners we will miss
we would screech to a halt because that is our way
they would talk about how we travelled so far
and we fell so hard
the day we wed the tears would fall for the future and promises
they called us tonight
cammed' all night
smiles and tears
and realising how happy
one person can be
two people can become
life
if only we knew
