The Great Escape (Demo) Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
The hours that were left behind
The answers that well never find
They dont mean a thing tonight
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They dont know us anyway
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

this is a great song, from a band that is going to do something big
Paper bags and plastic hearts
fucking love that
goood tune and ya they will do something big i like every song on their demo
boys like girls is a really good band & I like this a lot
album version it is "lets get drunk and ride around" instead of "drive" and it totally threw me off. great song.
martin sings this differently live...just so you know
who fricken cares if he sings it differently live, its still AWESOME.
Alright, so to me, this song has GRADUATION NIGHT!! written all over it. I was remembering today that feeling right after I graduated and how much nearly everything that happened in high school just didn't matter anymore. "Throw it away, forget yesterday..." I did that!!
I think this song is about typical teenagers getting drunk and having the best time of their lives. Its a great song. Which i think most teens can relate to, about rebelling and feeling that adults just dont understand them. Pure class.
