The Killers - Runaways 

This song is extremely underrated

Unpopular opinion here... This song is right up there with brightside, when you were young, somebody told me, etc.

Brandon Flowers has still never received the recognition he deserves. Legend.

These guys are unbelievable to see live in concert.

Looking back over my 73 years , no band was worth seeing live. Killers are the exception so Atlanta in September I’ll be there, God willing!!!!

Man if this song came out in the 70's/80's it would be an INSTANT classic!

I wish more people this day and age knew about this band. So much talent in all of them.

"At night I come home after they go to sleep, Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls". Gives me chills everytime.

His voice is so unique and so good and he sings with such feeling

I don't know why but when i hear this song i feel an intense feeling of love, so cool how a song can make you feel like "love adrenaline".

*LYRICS* 💙 *RUNAWAYS* 💙 Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand I'd been on her trail for a little while But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand A teenage rush She said, "Ain't we all just runaways? We got time" But that ain't much We can't wait till tomorrow You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to fight it? It's the one thing you can choose, oh! We got engaged on a Friday night I swore on the head of our unborn child That I could take care of the three of us But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild It's in my blood She said she might just runaway somewhere else Someplace good We can't wait til tomorrow You got to know that this is real, baby, why you want to fight it? It's the one thing you can choose Let's take a chance baby, we can't lose Ain't we all just runaways? I knew it when I met you, I'm not going to let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go! We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams Hold each other till the morning light We used to laugh, now we only fight Baby are you lonesome now? At night I come home after they go to sleep Like a stumbling ghost, I haunt these halls There's a picture of us on our wedding day I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls We can't wait till tomorrow Oh, we're caught up in the appeal baby, why you wanna hide it? It's the last thing on my mind (Why you want to hide it?) I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive Ain't we all just runaways? I knew it when I met you, I'm not going to let you runaway I knew it when I held you, I wasn't letting go! Oh! Oh! Oh! Ain't we all just runaways? Yeah, runaways Ain't we all just runaways? Yeah 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Im new to The Killers, but the drummer ALWAYS looks like he enjoys EVERY minute of what he does. Love it...

In my opinion: The best The Killers' song.

I hope the Killers keep ignoring the critics and keep surprising...they are unique

Most underrated Killer song. Gorgeous

Brandon sure knows how to write some great lyrics. Truly a master of his craft

Wish I could go back to 2012 and relive the first time I heard this album. What a magical year and a magical album to go with it!

The killers reminds me of 80's music. A mixture of journey and reo speedwagon.

"The Killers" songs and lyrics are so wonderful, and they are also so underrated. Some day they need to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Underrated Killers song

I dunno but i always enjoy the melody that The Killers do. There's something magical I can't explain.

This mans voice is mind blowing

BEST BAND EVER

Although I had heard of The Killers I never really got into them until 2021, Keep getting blown away by these amazing songs, Brandon Flowers is by far the best male vocalist ever, a true gift from God!

The Killers is my favorite band, I love Brandon's voice so much.

This is the most pure art. Not besmirched with anger, jealousy, hatred or pettiness. It is so rare to reach this level of talent without any sort of interference. It is truly like staring into the sun.

I still remember the first time i listen to this and totally fell in love and today still love it

If there was ever a song to define my life, this is it.

Blonde hair blowin' in the summer wind A blue-eyed girl playing in the sand I'd been on a trail for a little while But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand The teenage rush, she said, 'maybe I'll just runaway, we got time' Well that ain't much... We can't wait 'til tomorrow You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it? It's the one thing you can choose, oh! We got engaged on a Friday night I swore on the head of our unborn child that I could take care of the three of us But I got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild. It's in my blood She says she might just runaway somewhere else, some place good We can't wait 'til tomorrow You gotta know that this is real, baby why you wanna fight it? It's the one thing you can choose Let's take a chance baby we can't lose And we're all just runaways I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin' go We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams Hold each other to the morning light We used to laugh, now we only fight Baby are you lonesome now? At night I come home after they go to sleep Like a stumbling ghost, I haunt these halls There's a picture of us on our wedding day I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls We can't wait 'til tomorrow No we're caught up in the appeal, baby why you wanna hide it? It's the last thing on my mind (Why you wanna hide it?) I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive and we all just runaway I knew that when I met you, I'm not gonna let you runaway I knew that when I held you, I wasn't lettin go, no no no! (No no no!) (And we're all just runaways) Yeah runaway (And we're all just runaways) Yeah

They're worst album? No, this is a masterpiece

I just love the Killers and hate the fact that they are so underrated. I'm from India and still get emotional listening to their songs. I'm just thankful I found them in my teens.

9 years later and this song is still stuck in my head. Love these guys!

"I knew it when I met you, I'm not gonna let you, Runaway." ❤

Most Underrated Killers album, So Good!

i love the drummer! hes so happy to play!

i’m so lucky to have grown up with TheKillers music!!! favorite band by far 🫶

Wow this is almost 3 years ago. I remember when it came out me and my brother were addicted and i still love it to this day.

Best song to come out of 2012.

Makes me recall the good old times. Bless you Mr. Flowers

The beat when he sings "We used to look at the stars and confess out dreams. . . " always gives me goosebumps. Been loving this band ever since 'somebody told me' and 'Mr.brightside' released.

The entire album is a masterpiece!!!

i am in my 40's and don't really like too much of the music today, but the Killers are one of my favorite bands. very talented and original.

i just love his smile while he's singing it's precious

This is a fantastic song. One of my favs that doesn't get enough airplay.

first time I heard that song I was eating pizza, now it reminds to that great pizza. no one cares, but I love the song. and pizza.

why the fuck did it take me so long to start listening to this band

A most phenomenal song. The story, lyrics, instruments, vocals and pure power. As good as any other Killers classic live

Been listening to The Killers - Runaways and Garry Bean - Northern Town On repeat. No better way to spend a Saturday night im with my friends relaxing.

Popular music is in a bad place when a wonderful song like this only reaches #78 on the Billboard Top 100. Seriously. I did not expect an 80's throwback gem like this to top the charts. But only #78? From a platinum-selling band? Come on now. ☮

hand on heart one of the greatest bands ive heard in some time :)

Why is this song so intensely beautiful? It makes me want to move to a different country and find love somewhere out there.

I was born tomorrow and I like this music.

dios mio, cuando uno escucha estas canciones después de mucho tiempo es como que la amas mas que la primera vez que la escuchaste y te enamoraste.. ¿no? pues yo si y yolo

I love Ronnie, he’s always living it with the drums

Qué buenos tiempos cuando sonaba esta canción, tanta nostalgia volver a escucharla

I sang this for my college dorm's open mic. Got everyone clapping along by the end. bless

I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of the band... but this song is just amazingly good. Even years later, I still come back this track. For me, by far, their best song!

Been my favourite band for 7 years. Honestly helped me smile, and forget! I love them.

I love The Killers, and Brandon's solo work too, and this is one of my favourite songs. So brilliant and moving.

'Like a stumbling ghost I haunt these halls' - awesome.

This album is better than the critics let you believe. I love every single song on this album.

Was extremely lucky to see them perform this live at Hyde park, when everyone left the concert towards the tube station the whole crowd were belting this one out

Absolutely agree. I've been listening for a while. I'm 65 and still rocking. In memory of my late husband

That’s one of the coolest drummers of all time just watch him.

Amazing how much my feelings towards this song have changed. Hated it when I first heard it, now it may be my favourite Killers track, especially live.

i LOVE how he is just smiling in the video :D

This is an amazing song, it builds into something massive!!! Love it

This is a well written song,love it.Rock on.

My all time favorite song.... A man trying to do right fighting the beast within... I love you Brandon thank you for showing this wayward lad the way...

I don't know why this masterpiece is so underrated.. Btw who is here during lockdown?

even today MR flowers still has a great talent, great voice, and a great charisma,which breeds success!!

Timeless song. One of my favorite songs. 2019 and far beyond😊

damn, this song brings more nostalgia than any other

Whenever I see their drummer, I remember Jason Lee on Almost Famous.

"slip when the night gets wild." its in all of us. Love it ❤❤❤. .ove the lyrics2 this song

Yes, I will run away with you, Brandon. Any time.

From the Middle East Arabic world, just wanna say that this song makes me feel young,,,, respect. Killers

Cantarla a todo pulmón en concierto es de otro nivel

Gosh this album is so under appreciated

This song is so 80's :)

Este grupo es inmortal.

What a song, amazing, even 8 years later it still kicks arse, amazing emotions and feel, brilliance personified.

The Killler are my medicine, allways!

2019 y aun me sigue conmoviendo esta cancion

My God … the Emotion with which Brandon Flowers Delivers this Song Always brings me to Tears… And Ronnie V. Jr. On the Drums… Amazing ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ 3:50 moment Sums Up the Whole Performance

Thanks for you visit in Corona Capital 2016. 🌵🌷

imo all of there albums are good from end to start, ofc every album has those couple songs that are masterpieces, but all in all the killers release great music

... excelente melodia... en verdad que transporta hacía ese lugar que tiene un lugar en el corazón...

Just incredible and at 40 seconds into 'Just Another Girl' this song features as one of the flashbacks. These guys are the best.

i have watched this music video an unhealthy amount of times, but i don’t regret a single bit of it ❤️

When you were young, Runaways, Mr. Brightside... in that order for me, has been in my play list for years.

This song always makes me teary when it comes on. Im not joking. It's fascinating how a song can bring so many emotions. Brandon Flowers, thank you for making music I can just scream out loud and putting actual meaning to the lyrics.

this song was playing when my mum was dying of cancer brings back many memories every time i hear it

WE CANT WAIT TILL TOMORROWWWWWWWWW

díky díky za tak krásnou hudbu skupině Thé Killers

No matter how long, this is and will ever be my favorite song.

one of the best bands in this century

I love this music video! From the roads to the platforms to the fading band to the use of red. I think this is one of the best, if not THE best Killers music video!

There's just some SERIOUS SPONTINEITY between these dudes....it's fun watching them throw a look at each other and the song moves in a new - sometimes even a new, unrehearsed - direction.

Wow!! I am totally blown away! What a song and what a beautiful voice💖💖💖💖💖
