## Letra

**[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 gray 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 lyin' to myself

I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed

We never had a shotgun shot in the dark (Oh!)

**[Chorus]**

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-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 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)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

"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 (Oh!)

**[Chorus]**

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-ahh

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

**[Bridge]**

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!)

**[Chorus]**

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-ahh

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

**[Outro]**

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
