The Great Escape

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
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
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, we'll 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

Throw it away, forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
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

Well, all of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind me
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
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
