"No, nothing good starts in a getaway car"
"No, nothing good starts in a 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
"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 never had a shotgun shot in the dark (Oh!)
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
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-oh
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah
No, nothing good starts in a 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’
While 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)
"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 (Oh!)
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
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-oh
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (Oh-oh)
Until I switched to the other side, to the other side
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 (Oh!)
Drivin' the getaway car
We were flyin', but we'd never get far (Don't pretend)
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 (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-oh
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah
No, nothing good starts in a 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"
Swifties: It's such a pity that "Getaway Car" never had a music video, this song is SO underrated... :'(
Me: Say no more! ;)
Well, honestly I think it's one of her best songs. Taylor Swift is a genius, she always very attentive to details, and she puts easter eggs everywhere. I think she's a pure example of creativity every creative person should aspire to, and her way of writing her emotions in the songs, basing them on certain situations and people in her life, is something that is very close to me (I'm actually doing the same for a couple of years already, just in the pictures, not in the songs). I already did a tribute to her when I was angry because of certain people, and I trolled them with it. It was awesome. :D
I would really like to see what her music video for this song would be, because the lyrics are truly cinematographic, and her videos are very thoughtfully made. I just recently seen the music video for "Blank Space", and wow, she's so incredibly hilarious when she starts to abuse the guy, I can watch the sequence again and again on repeat, because it's sooo good. Can we please see gangster Swift now? :D Well, I hope when she will re-release "reputation" as Taylor Version album (now that she's own the label and rights) like she did with other albums we'll finally get to ride in a getaway car as a single song with music video. ;)
I'm also equally amazed by her fanbase, so dedicated to search for every easter egg, so imaginational in creating theories based on tiny bits of facts like real detectives! Someone said, if you're lost, ask a Swiftie to find a way, but I say, that I would rather like to play a Mafia game with them, because I swear they would be a nightmare dressed like a daydream. ;)
Hey, Swifties! I tried to put in my picture as much easter eggs (lyric-specific or Taylor-specific, and something is Lego-specific, but connected to the song or it's writing history) as I could. Can you find them all? ;)
Ah, and by the way, this is the real place on Google maps (except no buildings are there, but it was hard to find a suitable spot without trucks on horizon), I can even provide the coordinates. If you're from USA, maybe you can guess the state, or even the road? *whispers* It's hard to miss on a map!
