Getaway Car Lyrics – Taylor Swift
Taylor uses the image of criminals in a speeding car as the central metaphor for a doomed romance. She likens her rebound relationship with Tom Hiddleston to a “getaway car” ride used to get away from a crime scene, or she failed relationship with Calvin Harris.| Song Name : | Getaway Car |

He was the best of times, the worst of crimesI struck a matchAnd blew your mind, but I didn’t mean itAnd you didn’t see itThe ties were black, the lies were whiteAnd shades of grey in candlelightI wanted to leave himI needed a reason
X marks the spotWhere we fell apartHe poisoned the well, I was lyin’ to myselfI knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursedWe never had a shotgun shot in the dark
You were drivin’The getaway carWe were flyin’But we’d never get farDon’t pretend it’s such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meWe’re ridin’In a getaway carThere were sirens in the beat of your heartShould’ve known I’d be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met me
In a getaway car, oh-ohNo, they never get far, oh-oh-ahhNo, nothing good startsIn a getaway car
It was the great escapeThe prison breakThe light of freedom on my faceBut you weren’t thinkin’And I was just drinkin’While he was runnin’ after usI was screamin’, “Go, go, go!”But with three of us, honey, it’s a side showAnd a circus ain’t a love storyAnd now we’re both sorry(We’re both sorry)
X marks the spotWhere we fell apartHe poisoned the wellEvery man for himselfI knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursedIt hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart
You were drivin’The getaway carWe were flyin’But we’d never get farDon’t pretend it’s such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meWe’re ridin’In a getaway carThere were sirensIn the beat of your heartShould’ve known I’d be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met me
In a getaway car, oh-ohNo, they never get far, oh-oh-ahhNo, nothing good startsIn a getaway car
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (ohh)Until I switched to the other sideTo the other si-i-i-i-ideIt’s no surprise I turned you in (ohh)‘Cause us traitors never win
I’m in a getaway carI left you in a motel barPut the money in a bag and I stole the keysThat was the last time you ever saw me (go!)
Drivin’The getaway carWe were flyin’But we’d never get farDon’t pretend it’s such a mysteryThink about the place where you first met meWe’re ridin’In a getaway carThere were sirensIn the beat of your heart(Should’ve known) should’ve known I’d be the first to leaveThink about the place where you first met me
In a getaway car, oh-ohNo, they never get far, oh-oh-ahhNo, nothing good startsIn a getaway car
I was ridin’In a getaway carI was cryin’In a getaway carI was dyin’In a getaway carSaid goodbye inA getaway car
Ridin’In a getaway carI was cryin’In a getaway carI was dyin’In a getaway carSaid goodbye inA getaway car
