The Great Escape Lyrics - Boys Like Girls - Boys Like Girls

Paper bags and plastic hearts 

All our belongings in shopping carts 

It's goodbye 

But we got one more night 

Let's get drunk and drive around 

And make peace with an empty town 

We can make it right 

Throw it away 

Forget yesterday 

We'll make the great escape 

We won't hear a word they say 

They don't know us anyway 

Watch it burn 

Let it die 

'Cause we are finally free tonight 

Tonight will change our lives 

It's so good to be by your side 

But we'll cry 

We won't give up the fight 

We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs 

And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young 

And we'll feel so alive 

Throw it away 

Forget yesterday 

We'll make the great escape 

We won't hear a word they say 

They don't know us anyway 

Watch it burn 

Let it die 

'Cause we are finally free tonight 

All of the wasted time 

The hours that were left behind 

The answers that we'll never find 

They don't mean a thing tonight 

Throw it away 

Forget yesterday 

We'll make the great escape 

We won't hear a word they say 

They don't know us anyway 

Throw it away 

Forget yesterday 

We'll make the great escape 

We won't hear a word they say 

They don't know us anyway 

Throw it away 

Forget yesterday 

We'll make the great escape 

We won't hear a word they say 

They don't know us anyway 

Watch it burn 

Let it die 

'Cause we are finally free tonight
