Lyrics: 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 (Oh) 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 (Oh-oh-oh) No, they never get far (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 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 (Oh-oh-oh) No, they never get far (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 si-i-i-i-ide 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 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) 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) 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-ah) 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
