Thelma + Louise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Skipping town, down to Mexico
Lipstick on in the Thunderbird, let's roll
Drive right off of the world
Huh, leave your job and your gaslight man
Modern life was a big letdown, we're bored
Felt like a brick in a 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?"
She said to me
[Chorus]
"Days like these, you wanna get away
Closе our eyes, pretеnd 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
[Pre-Chorus]

Hear the sound of my heart exploding
Can you hear the sound of my heart exploding?"
She said to me
[Chorus]
"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

What did Bastille say about "Thelma + Louise"?
I wanted to write a love letter to that film [“Thelma & Louise”] – a love letter to feminism, escapism and throwing off the shackles of a life that you may be frustrated by.

What have the artists said about the song?
‘Thelma + Louise’ went through a bit of a journey. I wrote the beginnings of it on a Zoom call in the middle of lockdown with Rami Yacoub, who’s an amazing pop writer and a really good friend. I got really obsessed with the idea of it being about Thelma and Louise, this image of these two empowered,...
