LYRICS

Driving a stolen car down a highway I’ve never seen before
Lost count of the times you’d rest your head on my shoulders
I couldn’t breathe, your hand on my chest
I couldn’t read the intro or the rest
And all I know is all I want
This getaway car you’ve found, for me?
I couldn’t see through all the leaves
The jungles overgrown (jungles overgrown)
So where do we go now?
Should we watch a movie?
Or make one? (Or make one?)
Our memories don’t always last forever
But is it worse if I keep them?

You were my getaway car
Dodging all the signs
The light will leave you blind
But you were my getaway car
The only little distance
Between you and I
You were my mother’s favourite
Why’d you have to lie?

Driving down the coast
Lost inside the night
Godspeed, I honked you
I was free, I was me
(This guy’s crazy!)
It was night when I saw you through the shit
We were smiling cause we knew what we did
We were kids then (we were kids then)

You were my getaway car
Dodging all the signs
The light will leave you blind
But you were my getaway car
The only little distance
Between you and I
You were my mother’s favourite
Why’d you have to lie?
