No, nothing good starts in a getaway carIt was the best of times, the worst of crimes I struck a match and blew your mind But I didn’t mean itAnd you didn’t see it The ties were black, the lies were whiteIn shades of gray and candlelight I wanted to leave him I needed a reasonX 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 darkYou were driving the getaway car We were flying, but we’d never get farDon’t pretend it’s such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me We’re riding in a getaway carThere 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 meIn a getaway car No, they never get far No, nothing good starts in a getaway carIt was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren’t thinkingAnd 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 side showAnd a circus ain’t a love story And now we’re both sorry we’re both sorry X marks the spot, where we fell apartHe 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
