Getaway Car x august x The Other Side Of The Door

[Intro: Getaway Car] No, nothing good starts in a getaway car [Verse 1: 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 in candlelight I wanted to leave him I needed a reason [Pre-Chorus: Getaway Car] 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 nеver had a shotgun shot in the dark [Chorus: Getaway Car] You werе drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we 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 l'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-ahh No, nothing good starts in a getaway car [Verse 2: 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) [Pre-Chorus: Getaway Car] 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: Getaway Car] You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we 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 l'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-ahh No, nothing good starts in a getaway car [Instrumental] [Chorus: august] But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August slipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine [Bridge: 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 a motel bar Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me [Chorus: Getaway Car] Drivin' the getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known) I shoulda' known l'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-ahh No, nothing good starts in a getaway car [Outro: 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 [Outro: The Other Side Of The Door] With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you
