Getaway Car Lyrics - Taylor Swift

[Intro] 

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car 

[Verse 1] 

He 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 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 lyin' to myself 

I knew it from the first old fashion, we were cursed 

We never had a shotgun shot in the dark 

[Chorus] 

You were drivin' the getaway car 

We were flyin', but we'd never get far 

Don't pretend it's such a mystery 

Think about the place where you first met me 

We're ridin' 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 

In a getaway car, oh-oh 

No, they never get far, oh-ahh 

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car

[Verse 2] 

He was the great escape, the prison break 

The light of freedom on my face 

But you weren't thinkin' 

And I was just drinkin' 

While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "go, go, go!" 

But with three of us, honey, it's a side show 

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 fashion, we were cursed 

It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart 

[Chorus] 

You were drivin' the getaway car 

We were flyin', but we'd never get far 

Don't pretend it's such a mystery 

Think about the place where you first met me 

We're ridin' 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 

In a getaway car, oh-oh 

No, they never get far, oh-ahh 

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car 

[Bridge] 

We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde 

Until I switch to the other side 

To the other si-i-i-i-ide 

It's no surprise I turned you in 

'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] 

Drivin' the getaway car 

We were flyin', 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 

We're ridin' 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 

In a getaway car, oh-oh 

No, they never get far, oh-ahh 

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car 

[Outro] 

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
