Thelma + Louise – English Lyrics

• By: Bastille

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Skipping town, down to Mexico

Lipstick on, in the Thunderbird let's roll

Drive right off of the world

Leave your job and your gaslight man

Modern life was a big let-down

We're bored, felt like a brick in the wall

Days like these, you wanna get away

Close our eyes, pretend we're miles away

Hear the sound of my heart exploding

Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?

She said to me

Days like these, you wanna get away

Close our eyes, pretend we're miles away

Hear the sound of my heart exploding

Oh, oh

Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?

She said to me

Runaways under big blue skies

Desert winds, yeah, we made headlines

When you showed him what it means to say no

Days like these, you wanna get away

Close our eyes, pretend we're miles away

Hear the sound of my heart exploding

Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?

She said to me

Days like these, you wanna get away

Close our eyes, pretend we're miles away

Hear the sound of my heart exploding

Oh, oh

Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?

And suddenly we're Thelma and Louise

You said let's get the hell right out of here, oh

Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?

Oh, oh

Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?

Days like these, we wanna get away
