I remember when this song first came out I was in 5th grade and I heard it on the radio, at my frienda house and that was 4 years ago, until today I still hear this song. I love it :)
I think that the meaning of the lyric is the opposite of the vid. I believe that be free doesn't mean do stupid things with friends and that running away means running away from ignorance. Keep learning from life
i like the song, but i hate the video. it has absolutely nothin to do with the lyrics...idk just seems to bidget cut. but i LOVE THE SONG!!! it's all i have listened to for days!
Boys like girls is an awesome band and on my top ten favorite songs, they've got 5. The Great escape is 1, heart heart heartbreak is 5, two is better than one is number 8, thunder is 9 and love drunk is 10.
They are my favorite band and I just can't get. Enough if their music. If you're reading this and the great escape is the only song you have heard by them, listen to all the songs mentioned above
wow a million times better than the first one. I was watching the fucking thing at like one in the morning and there was this creepy zombie scream in the middle. good lord I'm gonna have nightmares tonight.
0:20 NINTENDO YEAHHH!!!
