Getaway Car

(INTRO) (Verse 1) They see the joke, the easy smile, the boy who's always laughin' In a room of loaded silences, I'm the one who breaks the tension They drew a map, a straight, clean line, a marriage for the family name But I was drawin' my own battle plans, playin' a much deadlier game Yeah, I bought the suit, I stood up straight, I looked the part they wanted me to But my every breath was just a bet, I was all in on you. (Pre-Chorus) And the organ played that hymn… but my heart was drummin' thunder Watchin' for the shadow I knew was gonna pull me under. (Chorus) 'Cause you didn't just c***h the party, you stole the whole damn show Came in like a wildfire where a gentle breeze was supposed to blow They thought I was your prisoner, in handcuffs and a chain But baby, you were the getaway car, and I was breakin' free from the pain Oh, you were the p****n and the remedy, the chaos and the calm And this "kidnapping" of my heart, well, darlin', you played right into my palm. (Verse 2) I remember the flicker in the alley, the glint of steel and obsession in your eyes A year and a half of you watchin' me from the corner of my life You thought you were the hunter, trackin' your foolish, chosen prey But I laid every single crumb down, hopin' you'd find your way That scrapbook of my lonely days, you thought it was your secret kept But I was the one who left the window cracked, while the whole world slept. (Pre-Chorus) And the organ played that hymn… but my heart was drummin' thunder Watchin' for the shadow I knew was gonna pull me under. (Chorus) 'Cause you didn't just c***h the party, you stole the whole damn show Came in like a wildfire where a gentle breeze was supposed to blow They thought I was your prisoner, in handcuffs and a chain But baby, you were the getaway car, and I was breakin' free from the pain Oh, you were the p****n and the remedy, the chaos and the calm And this "kidnapping" of my heart, well, darlin', you played right into my palm. (Bridge) So let 'em all think you wear the pants, let 'em think you call the tune This power you hold over me, it's my favorite kind of ruin You can have the reins, you can have the lead, you can have the final word 'Cause this whole time I was mastermind, waitin' to be your willing servant, girl. (Guitar Solo - Evocative and raw, building back into the final chorus) (Final Chorus) Oh, you didn't just c***h the party, you stole my whole damn soul Came in like a wildfire and you took complete control! They can see the prisoner, in handcuffs and a chain But baby, you were the getaway car, and I was breakin' free from the pain You're the p****n and the remedy, the chaos and the calm This "kidnapping" of my heart, girl, I planned it all along. (Outro) Yeah, you planned it all along... And I let you... Mm, I let you. (Fade out with a single, clean guitar note)
