Song lyrics

[Intro:]
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.

[Verse 1:]
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 grey in candlelight
I wanted to leave him,
I needed a reason.

[Pre-Chorus:]
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 shot, gunshot in the dark.

[Chorus:]
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,
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,
No, they never get far, oh-ahh,
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
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 shot, gunshot in the dark.

[Chorus:]
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,
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,
No, they never get far, oh-ahh,
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.

[Bridge:]
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde,
Until I switched to the other side,
To the other side.
It's no surprise I turned you in,
'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.

[Chorus:]
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.
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,
No, they never get far, oh-ahh,
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car.

[Outro:]
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.
