The Great Escape Lyrics

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
Goodbye, we got one more nightLet's have fun and ride around
Make peace with an empty town
We can make it rightThrow it away, forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
Won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anywayWatch it turn, let it fly
'Cause we are finally free tonightTonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry, we won't give up the fightScream loud at the top of our lungs
They'll think it's just 'cause we're young
And we'll feel so aliveThrow it away, forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
Won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anywayWatch it turn, let it fly
'Cause we are finally free tonightAll of the wasted time and
Hours that were left behind it

Answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonightThrow it away, forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
Won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anywayThrow it away, forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
Won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anywayWatch it turn, let it fly
'Cause we are finally free tonight
