In the previous sentence, the present tense "run" was used, but here, the past tense "left" is used. Why is that?

Here, he says "left" instead of "leave" because his implied sentence is, "What would've happened if we had left today?" He shortens this sentence because the whole sentence does not flow with the song.The phrases "what if we ran away" and "what if we left today" are suggesting different possibilities, therefore, they are not directly connected.
