‘X’ marks the spot where we fell a part.
He poi soned the well; I was ly ing to my self.
I knew it from the first Old Fash ioned we were cursed: we (F)nev er had a shot gun shot in the dark.
You were driv ing a get a way car.
We were fly ing, but we’d nev er get far.
Don’t pre tend it’s such a mys ter y; think a bout the place where you first met me: rid ing in a get a way car.
There were si rens in the beat of your heart.
Should ’ve known I’d be the first to leave; think a bout the place where you first met me:
in a get a way car.
(Ah.)
No, they nev er get far.
(Ah.)
No, noth ing good starts in a get a way car.
It was the great es cape, the pris on break; the (G)light of free dom on my face.
But you were n’t think ing,

Well, (C5)he was run ning af ter us; I was scream ing, “Go, go, (G)go!” But with three of us, hon ey, it’s a side show.
And the cir cus ain’t a love sto ry; and now we’re (F)both sor ry.
