The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls (Lyrics)

[00:13.15] Paper bags and plastic hearts

[00:15.82] All our belongings in shopping carts

[00:18.74] It's goodbye, but we got one more night

[00:21.92] Let's get drunk and ride around

[00:28.57] And make peace with an empty town

[00:31.75] We can make it right

[00:37.08] Throw it away, forget yesterday

[00:40.27] We'll make the great escape

[00:43.72] And we won't hear a word they say

[00:46.65] They don't know us anyway

[00:50.63] Watch it burn, let it die

[00:53.82] 'Cause we are finally free, tonight

[01:04.17] Tonight will change our lives

[01:07.10] It's so good to be by your side

[01:10.02] We'll cry, but we won't give up the fight

[01:16.65] We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs

[01:20.12] And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young

[01:22.77] But we'll feel so alive

[01:28.35] Throw it away, forget yesterday

[01:32.33] We'll make the great escape

[01:34.45] And we won't hear a word they say

[01:37.91] They don't know us anyway

[01:41.89] Watch it burn, let it die

[01:44.81] 'Cause we are finally free, tonight

[01:50.13] All of the wasted time, the

[01:52.25] Hours that we've left behind, the

[01:54.91] Answers that we'll never find

[01:58.09] They don't mean a thing, tonight

[02:13.49] Throw it away, forget yesterday

[02:16.96] We'll make the great escape

[02:20.94] We won't hear a word they say

[02:24.66] They don't know us anyway

[02:28.64] Throw it away, forget yesterday

[02:33.21] We'll make the great escape

[02:36.14] And we won't hear a word they say

[02:37.23] They don't know us anyway

[02:40.67] Throw it away, forget yesterday

[02:43.60] We'll make the great escape

[02:46.78] And we won't hear a word they say

[02:50.77] They don't know us anyway

[02:53.97] Watch it burn, let it die

[02:57.42] 'Cause we are finally free, tonight!
