In

To

X
Marks
The
Spot

Where
We
Fell
Apart

The

Myself

You
Were
Drivin'

The
Getaway
Car

We
Were
Flyin'

Never
Get
Far

Pretend

Such
A
Mystery

Think
About
The
Place

Where
You
First
Met
Me

We're
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

No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
