dawsonsrep – getaway car 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 cries were black, the lies were white
in shades of blue of blue light
they wanted to leave me
they needed a reason

[pre+chorus]
“x” marks the spot where we fell apart
they poisoned the well, i was lyin’ to myself
i knew it from the first insult, 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 and how you first met me
ridin’ in a getaway car
there were sirens in the beat of your heart
should’ve known you’d be the first to leave
think about the place and how 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 your face
but you weren’t thinkin’
and i was just clinging on
while you were runnin’ after me, i was screamin’, “no, please, no!”
but with three of you, honey, it’s a sideshow
and a circus ain’t a love story
and now i’m sorry (i’m so sorry)

[pre+chorus]
“x” marks the spot where we fell apart
they poisoned the well, i was lyin’ to myself
i knew it from the first insult, 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 and how you first met me
ridin’ in a getaway car
there were sirens in the beat of your heart
should’ve known you’d be the first to leave
think about the place and how 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 made fun of you (oh+oh)
’cause us traitors never win
you were in a getaway car
you left me in a motel bar
put the money in a bag and you stole the keys
that was the last time you ever saw me (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 (don’t pretend)
think about the place and how you first met me
ridin’ in a getaway car
there were sirens in the beat of your heart
should’ve known you’d be the first to leave (should’ve known)
think about the place and how 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
