[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
She said to me
Days like these you wanna gеt away
Close our eyes, prеtend 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

[Verse 2]
Runaways under big blue skies
Desert winds yeah we made headlines
When you showed him what it means to say no

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
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

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
