☼

it was the best of times the worst of crimes

she struck a match and blew his mind

but she didn’t mean it

and he didn’t see it

the ties were black

the lies were white

and shades of gray in candlelight

she wanted to leave him

she needed a reason

x marks the spot where they fell apart

he poisoned the well

they were lying to themselves

she knew from the first old fashioned they were cursed

THEY NEVER HAD A SHOTGUN SHOT IN THE DARK

they were driving the getaway car

they were flying but they never get far

there were sirens in the beat of his heart

he should’ve known she’d be the first to leave

nothing good starts in a getaway car

it was the great escape

the prison break

the light of freedom on her face

but he wasn’t thinking

and she was just drinking

he was running after them

she was screaming “GO GO GO”

but the three of them honey was a side show

a circus aint a love story

now they’re both sorry

they were jetset bonnie and clyde

till she switched to the other side (to the other si-i-i-iiiiide)

it’s no surprise she turned him in

cuz those traitors never win

she was in a getaway car

she left him in a motel bar

she put the money in a bag

and she took the keys

THAT WAS THE LAST TIME HE EVER SAW HER

she was riding in a getaway car

she was crying in a getaway car

she was dying in a getaway car

said goodbye in a getaway car

When Getaway Car comes on even though you knew it would because you put it next in your queue

When you actively seek out Getaway Car out of your entire song catalogue and press play

When Getaway Car comes on for the 139th time that day

Getaway Car
