Run away with me
Lost souls in revelries
Crowfeather gazed into Leafpool's eyes pleadingly. "Come on. We don't belong here. They all say that," he mewed softly. The medicine cat met Crowfeather's blue depths evenly.
Running wild and running free
Two kids, you and me
The dark grey tom leaned closer to the she-cat. "It'll just be us. The code couldn't get between our love."
And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
"But that means we have to live as rogues," Leafpool pulled away from the Windclanner's handsome face. She was almost too close to agreeing.
And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
Renegades, renegades
Hurt flashed across Crowfeather's eyes. Frustration bubbled inside of him but he pushed it back down. "Our love for each other is too strong to forget," he pressed his pelt against his lover's. "I cannot have this feeling again whenever you leave."
Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Leafpool shook him off her. "We have become such loyal cats. We can't disappoint our clanmates like this."
"There's no one to disappoint," Crowfeather spoke. "Don't worry. They won't miss us." He turned around and trotted away from her. The grey tom glanced back over his shoulder. "Please understand. It would mean the world if you would come with me."
Go forth and have no fear
Come close and lend an ear
Leafpool looked at Crowfeather, and back at Thunderclan's territory. She was torn between passion and duty. Her family is ought to miss her. And she has one of the most important jobs in the clan. But she's been in love with Crowfeather since she was an apprentice. You can have the best life with him. Follow your heart. Your destiny lies ahead with him. A voice echoed in her knew Starclan would never approve. Follow your heart, it repeated.
Looking up at the starry night sky, Leafpool whispered, "Please forgive me, Starclan. You tell me to follow my heart. To follow my dreams. And with that thought, I became a medicine cat. But things have changed…" The tortoiseshell she-cat sighed and walked beside Crowfeather, their pelts brushing. "I'm coming."
And I said hey
Hey,hey,hey
Living like we're renegades
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
Renegades, renegades
Crowfeather smiled and nodded. He raced across the moor.
With one last glance at her home, Leafpool followed the tom. Thinking about being his mate made her heart flutter. But she shook away the thought of kits.
So, all hail the underdogs
All hail the new kids
All hail the outlaws
Spielbergs and Kubricks
When Leafpool had caught up the Crowfeather, he could see worry dancing in her eyes. He touched her muzzle with his, reassuringly. "Don't worry. A bunch of cats done this before. We're not the first." He frowned. "Why must the clans be like this? Everlasting battles and the stupid code. Surely, we have our rights, too."
It's our time to make a move
It's our time to make amends
It's our break the rule
Let's begin…
Leafpool let out a sigh. She didn't like the feeling of breaking both the warrior and medicine cat code, but she had already made up her mind. How can something so wrong feel so right?
Crowfeather laid his tail on the medicine cat's back. "The code can't get to us. The borders mustn't seperate us. We've started a new life now. New memories will be made. This is our destiny," he met Leafpool's eyes. The she-cat pressed herself against him affectionately.
And I said hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
The two mates ran together through the moor, tails still partially entwined. Who cares if we're rogues. Who cares if we're breaking the rules. Nothing else matters as long as we're happy.
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Living like we're renegades
Renegades, renegades
