    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 and candlelight
    I wanted to leave him
    I needed a reason

    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 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, 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 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)

    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

    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, 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 the motel bar
    Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
    That was the last time you ever saw me

    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, 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' a getaway car
    I was dyin' in a getaway car
    Said "goodbye" in a getaway car
