no, nothing good starts in a getaway car
it 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
in shades of gray and candlelight
i wanted to leave him
i needed a reason
x marks the spot, where we fell apart
he poisoned the well, i was lying to myself
i knew it from the first old fashioned, we were cursed
we never had a shotgun shot in the dark
you were driving the getaway car
we were flying, 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 riding in a getaway car
there were sirens in the beat of your heart
should’ve known i’d be the first to leave
think about the place where you first met me
in a getaway car
no, they never get far
no, nothing good starts in a getaway car
it was the great escape, the prison break
the light of freedom on my face
but you weren’t thinking
and i was just drinking
well he was running after us, i was screaming ‘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 fashioned, we were cursed
it hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
you were driving the getaway car
we were flying, 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 riding in a getaway car
there were sirens in the beat of your heart
should’ve known i’d be the first to leave
think about the place where you first met me
in a getaway car
no, they never get far
no, nothing good starts in a getaway car
we were jet set bonnie and clyde
until i switched 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 the motel bar
i put the money in a bag and stole the keys
that was the last time you ever saw me
driving the getaway car
we were flying, 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 riding in a getaway car
there were sirens in the beat of your heart
should’ve known i’d be the first to leave
think about the place where you first met me
in a getaway car
no, they never get far
no, nothing good starts in a getaway car
i was riding in a getaway car
i was crying in a getaway car
i was dying in a getaway car
said ‘goodbye’ in a getaway car
i was riding in a getaway car
i was crying in a getaway car
i was dying in a getaway car
said ‘goodbye’ in a getaway car…
