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 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
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 escap
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
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 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
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
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
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
Put the money in a bag
And I stole the keys
That was the last time
You ever saw me
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
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 ridin' in a getaway car
I was cryin' in a getaway car
I was dyin' in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car
Ridin' in a getaway car
I was cryin' a getaway car
I was dyin' in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car
