The Great Escape Lyrics By Boys Like Girls

    paper bags and plastic hearts
    all are belongings in shopping carts
    it’s goodbye
    but we got one more night
    lets 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
    and 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
    and 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 me
    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
