The Great Escape lyrics - Cœur De Pirate

(originally by Patrick Watson)

Bad day, looking for a way home,
looking for the great escape.
Gets in his car and drives away,
to all the things that we are.
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
and breathes it out, he says,
bye bye - bye to all of the noise.
Oh, he says, bye bye - bye to all of the noise.

Ooh oh oh oh oh ooh
Ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
[x2]

Hey child, things are looking down.
That's okay, you don't need to win anyways.
Don't be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don't let yourself down.

Ooh oh oh oh oh ooh
Ooh oh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
[x2]

Bad day, looking for the great escape.
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
The great escape.
