Taylor Swift – Getaway Car lyrics

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 grey
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 new it from the first
old fashioned we were cursed
We never had a shot
gun shot in the dark

You were driving
the getaway car
We were flying
but we 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 have known I'd be the first to leave
think about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car, oh
No they never get far, oh
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
as 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 shot gun
shot to the heart

You were driving
the getaway car
We were flying
but we 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 have known I'd be the first to leave
think about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car, oh
No they never get far, oh
No nothing good starts in a getaway car

We were jet set
Bonnie and Clyde, 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
Cause us traitors never win

I'm in a getaway car
I left you in the motel bar
put the money in the bag
and I stole the keys
That was the last time
you ever saw me

Driving the getaway car
We were flying
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
Riding in a getaway car
There were sirens
In the beat of your heart (Should've known)
Should have known I'd be the first to leave
think about the place where you first met me

In a getaway car, oh
No they never get far, oh
No nothing good starts in a getaway car

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
