Intro
N.C.
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 ties were black, the lies were white
In shades of gray in candlelight
I wanted to leave him
I needed a reason
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus
You were driving the getaway car
We were flying, but we'd never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me
Riding 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
Post-Chorus
In a getaway car (Oh-oh-oh)
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-ah)
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Verse 2
Met the magenta sunrise
Fuschia forever intertwined
Threw the rosewood on the fire
Neither of us knew at the time
That I was a liar
Pre-Chorus
And it was so good
Letting you want me, so good
To make promises, promises
Pr-pr-promises
Chorus
But I was pink clouding from the thrill of it
Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body
Gray rocking where the arrow hit
Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry
I didn't want to let you down
So I left you up there on a pink cloud
Verse 3
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
While 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)
Pre-Chorus
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
Chorus
You were driving the getaway car
We were flying, but we'd never get far
Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me
Riding 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
Post-Chorus
In a getaway car (Oh-oh-oh)
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-ah)
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Verse 4
He cut me crimson, bled me dry
He crossed my heart, I hoped to die
Ripped all my orchids from the vine
You met me at a cursed time
I told you I was fine
Pre-Chorus
And you were so good
That's why you haunt me like you should
And all my promises, promises
Pr-pr-promises
Chorus
'Cause I was pink clouding from the thrill of it
Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body
Gray rocking where the arrow hit
Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry
I didn't want to let you down
So I left you up there on a pink cloud
Bridge
I hope you realized my kind of trouble wasn't worth it
And the way I treated you, you never deserved it
And I swear to God, to this day
I wake up scared that I left scars on a good person
And I gave you zero reason to believe it, so be it
Gm*
But it didn't mean nothing just 'cause I could leave it
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
Breakdown
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
Chorus
Driving the getaway car
We were flying, 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
Riding 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
Post-Chorus
In a getaway car (pink cloud)
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Chorus
I was pink clouding from the thrill of it
Skydiving as you wrapped your arms around my body
Gray rocking where the arrow hit
Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry
Outro
I hope you landed safely on the ground, hey (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
And I hope you're so happy now (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
I didn't want to let you down (Pink cloud, pink cloud)
So I left you up there on a pink cloud
I was riding in a getaway car
I was crying in a getaway car
I was dying in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car
Riding in a getaway car
I was crying in a getaway car
I was dying in a getaway car
Said goodbye in a getaway car
