"The Getaway" lyrics

"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 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
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
