The Great Escape (Boys Like Girls)

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
Its goodbye
But we got one more night
Lets get drunk and drive around
And make peace with this empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight

Tonight will change our lives
Its so good to be by your side
And well cry
But we wont give up the fight
Well scream loud at the top of our lungs
Theyll think its just cause were young
Well feel so alive

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont 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 well never find
They dont mean a thing tonight

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway

Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
