(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
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 lying to myself
I knew it from the first
Old Fashioned we were cursed
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
(Oh!)
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
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 (Oh-oh-oh)
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-oh, ah)
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 sideshow
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
(Oh!)
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
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 (Oh-oh-oh)
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-oh, ah)
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
We were jet-set Bonnie and Clyde (Oh-oh)
Until I switched to the other side
(To the other side)
It’s no surprise I turned you in (Oh-oh)
‘Cause us traitors never win
I’m in a getaway car
I left you in a motel bar
Put the money in a bag
And I stole the keys
That was the last time you ever saw me
(Oh)
Driving the getaway car
We were flying
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
Riding in a getaway car
There were sirens
In the beat of your heart (Should’ve known)
Should’ve known I’d be the first to leave
Think about the place
Where you first met me
In a getaway car (Oh-oh-oh)
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-oh, ah)
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
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
