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
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 shot gunshot in the dark
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
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
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
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
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
We were jet-set Bonnie and Clyde
Until I switched to the other side
To the other si-i-i-i-ide
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
Drivin' the getaway car
We were flyin' 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
Ridin' 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
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
