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
