Lyrics

No, nothin' 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 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, nothin' 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'
 While 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 shotgun shot to the heart (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, nothin' 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 side
 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'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, nothin' 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
