N.C
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 lyin to myself
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
We never had a shot, gunshot in the dark
(Oh!)
You were drivin the getaway car
We were flyin , but we 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
I shoulda 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-ahh
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 thinkin
And I was just drinkin
Well, he was runnin after us, I was screamin , "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 shot, gunshot to the heart
(Oh!)
You were drivin the getaway car
We were flyin , but we 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
I shoulda 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-ahh
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 a motel bar
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
That was the last time you ever saw me
(Oh!)
Drivin the getaway car
We were flyin , 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
Ridin in a getaway car
There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should ve known)
I shoulda 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-ahh
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 in a getaway car
I was dyin in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car
