The Great Escape Lyrics

The Great Escape lyrics

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 ride 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 won't know us anyway



Watch it burn

Let it die

'Cause we are finally free tonight
