The Getaway

"Oh, I'm gonna be somebody someday, just wait" is what I said

The only question was, when?

It's funny how we forget

Every set of eyes was like a spotlight shining down from the heavens

We gave it everything we had

Not the best, but we weren't bad

I've been told that something's got to give

But I've never been one to break

I can still hear you say, "I know the road we're gonna take"

And I know you will be riding

Shotgun in my car for the getaway

Cutting through the brake lights up ahead

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you, and I'm fighting

Every step but I can't turn the page

Still you say you trust me all the same

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you

You say you can keep watch by the road

I'm pulling up when it's lights out

A little late to turn around

Save yourself when it goes south

I can see the headlights in the distance closing in on us now

A voice above us calling down

Both hands on the ground

They keep saying something's got to give

But I've never been one to break (oh-no)

Then I hear you say, "I know the road we're gonna take"

And I know you will be riding

Shotgun in my car for the getaway

Cutting through the brake lights up ahead

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you, and I'm fighting

Every step but I can't turn the page

Still you say you trust me all the same

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you

I'm lost with you, but I

I hope we never find our way

I hope we never hit the brakes

And even when all that we know

Is in the rearview closing in

I know that we can start again

Get even closer to the edge

'Cause I know you will be riding

Shotgun in my car for the getaway

Cutting through the brake lights up ahead

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you, and I'm fighting

Every step but I can't turn the page

Still you say you trust me all the same

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you

I'm lost with you

And even though all is lost

I'm lost with you
