Escape
Boy Girl Lyrics

Paper bags and plastic hearts
Our belongings are superficial and disposable, reflecting the nature of our society

All our belongings in shopping carts
We have no permanence and exist in a state of constant flux

It's goodbye
We are leaving everything behind

But we got one more night
We have a chance to make the most of our final moments here

Let's get drunk and drive around
We want to escape this place and drown our sorrows at the same time

And make peace with an empty town
We need to come to terms with the emptiness of our surroundings

We can make it right
We have the power to make things better, at least for tonight

Throw it away
We need to abandon our past and start anew

Forget yesterday
We can't change what has already happened, so we need to move on

We'll make the great escape
We are leaving this place and starting fresh

We won't hear a word they say
We won't let anyone else dictate our actions or thoughts

They don't know us anyway
They can't comprehend who we truly are

Watch it burn
The old version of ourselves is being destroyed

Let it die
Our past selves must be left behind and forgotten

'Cause we are finally free tonight
We are unencumbered by our previous mistakes and free to live in the moment

Tonight will change our lives
This experience will have a profound impact on us

It's so good to be by your side
We have each other and that's all that matters

But we'll cry
We will be sad to leave, but we know it's for the best

We won't give up the fight
We will continue to persevere and overcome obstacles

We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
We want to make our presence known and express ourselves unabashedly

And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young
Others will assume our behavior is simply due to our age and lack of maturity

And we'll feel so alive
Despite any challenges or criticisms, we will feel invigorated and alive

All of the wasted time
We have spent too much time in this place without achieving anything meaningful

The hours that were left behind
We have lost precious time that could have been used more effectively

The answers that we'll never find
There are some things we may never understand or resolve

They don't mean a thing tonight
We are letting go of our past regrets and focusing on the present moment

Throw it away
We must discard this weight and move on

We won't hear a word they say
We are deaf to the voices of those who seek to hold us back

They don't know us anyway
Our true selves are not yet known to anyone but ourselves

Watch it burn
We are setting ablaze our old selves and leaving behind our past mistakes

Let it die
We are moving on from our past selves and mistakes

'Cause we are finally free tonight
We are unburdened by the weight of our past and free to live in the present
