The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls

Paper bags and plastics 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

CHORUS:
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
And 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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS


The Great Escape is a song about being young and moving on and growing up and not leaving it all behind but kind of feeling like you're moving on to a new place and you're ready to break free and get out and you're going to do it for one more night with your best friends.
