(No, nothing good starts in a getaway car)

It was the best of times, the worst of crimesI struck a match and blew your mindBut I didn’t mean itAnd you didn’t see itThe ties were black, the lies were whiteIn shades of gray in candlelightI wanted to leave himI needed a reason

X marks the spot where we fell apartHe poisoned the well, I was lying to myselfI knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursedWe never had a shotgun shot in the dark (oh!)

You were driving the getaway carWe were flying, but we’d never get farDon’t pretend it’s such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meRiding in a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heartShould’ve known I’d be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car (oh, whoa)No, they never get far (oh, whoa)No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

It was the great escape, the prison breakThe light of freedom on my faceBut you weren’t thinkingAnd I was just drinkingWell, he was running after us, I was screaming: Go, go, go!But with three of us, honey, it’s a sideshowAnd a circus ain’t a love storyAnd now we’re both sorry(We’re both sorry)

X marks the spot where we fell apartHe poisoned the well, every man for himselfI knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursedIt hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart (oh!)

You were driving the getaway carWe were flying, but we’d never get farDon’t pretend it’s such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meRiding in a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heartShould’ve known I’d be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car (oh, whoa)No, they never get far (oh, whoa)No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

We were jet-set Bonnie and ClydeUntil I switched to the other side, to the other sideIt’s no surprise, I turned you in’Cause us, traitors, never win

I’m in a getaway carI left you in a motel barPut the money in a bag and I stole the keysThat was the last time you ever saw me (oh!)

Driving the getaway carWe were flying, but we’d never get far (don’t pretend)Don’t pretend it’s such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meRiding in a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heart (should’ve known)Should’ve known I’d be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car (oh, whoa)No, they never get far (oh, whoa)No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

I was riding in a getaway carI was crying in a getaway carI was dying in a getaway carSaid goodbye in a getaway carRiding in a getaway carI was crying in a getaway carI was dying in a getaway carSaid goodbye in a getaway car
