Getaway Car lyrics

(No, nothing good starts in a getaway car)

He was the best of times, the worst of crimes

I struck a match and blew your mind

But I didn't mean it

And you didn't see it

The ties were black, the lies were white

The shades of grey in candlelight

I wanted to leave him

I needed a reason

X marks the spot, where we fell apart

He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself

I knew it from the first old fashion, we were cursed

We never had a shotgun shot in the dark

You were drivin' the getaway car

We were flyin', but we'd never get far

Don't pretend it's such a mystery

Think about the place where you first met me

We're ridin' in a getaway car

There were sirens in the beat of your heart

Shoulda know I'd be the first to leave

Think about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car

No, we never get far

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

He was the great escape, the prison break

The light of freedom on my face

But you weren't thinkin'

And I was just drinkin'

While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!"

But with three of us, honey, it's a side show

And a circus ain't a love story

And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)

X marks the spot, where we fell apart

He poisoned the well, every man for himself

I knew it from the first old fashion, we were cursed

It hit you like a shotgun shot in the heart

You were drivin' the getaway car

We were flyin', but we'd never get far

Don't pretend it's such a mystery

Think about the place where you first met me

Ridin' in a getaway car

There were sirens in the beat of your heart

Shoulda know I'd be the first to leave

Think about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car

No, we never get far

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde

Until I switch to the other side

To the other side

It's no surprise I turned you in

'Cause us traitors never win

I'm in a getaway car

I left you in a motel bar

Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys

That was the last time you ever saw me

Drivin' the getaway car

We were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend)

Don't pretend it's such a mystery

Think about the place where you first met me

We're ridin' in a getaway car

There were sirens in the beat of your heart

Shoulda know I'd be the first to leave

Think about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car

No, we never get far

No, nothing could stops in a getaway car

I was flyin' in a getaway car

I was cryin' in a getaway car

I was dyin' in a getaway car

Said goodbye in a getaway car

I was flyin' in a getaway car

I was cryin' in a getaway car

I was dyin' in a getaway car

Said goodbye in a getaway car
