Partners In the Getaway

You light a match in the stairwell

Smile

Say

"We shouldn't be here"

My hand finds yours in the siren glow

We walk out clean

Every year

You slip the ring from the window ledge

Toss me the keys

"You drive"

We leave the scene like a bad idea

That somehow stays alive

We’re the ones that always get away

Hand in hand

Past the yellow tape

Laughing while the cameras chase our names

They’ll write stories

Never catch a face

We’re the ones that always get away

Every wrong turn turns into escape

If the world burns

We just watch it fade

Partners in the getaway

Midnight maps on the dashboard

Red X marks on every town

You steal a kiss in the parking lot

Like you’re lifting diamonds out

You say

"Confess?" and I shake my head

"Only thing I’m guilty of

Is following you through every mess

And calling it our luck"

We’re the ones that always get away

Hand in hand

Past the yellow tape

Laughing while the cameras chase our names

They’ll write stories

Never catch a face

We’re the ones that always get away

Every wrong turn turns into escape

If the world burns

We just watch it fade

Partners in the getaway

Someday they’ll spread our pictures

Across some stranger’s screen

Call us cursed

Call us clever

Call it crime

We call it free

If the blue lights ever find us

Promise me one thing (one thing)

You take the blame for loving me

I’ll take the blame for everything (everything)

We’re the ones that always get away

Hand in hand

Past the yellow tape

Laughing while the cameras chase our names

They’ll write stories

Never catch a face

We’re the ones that always get away

Every wrong turn turns into escape

If the world burns

We just watch it fade
