Getaway car

 

I spoke to the lover in you for a moment.

For many more moments before you found out

You silenced him into my mind with a few words

I couldn't silence him for months.

I know that I still keep him somewhere

Couldn't have run very far

But I refuse to look for him.

Saw him in my getaway car.

Can't look for him, nor in that way

As if I looked for you once more

How could I dare to look your way

When you knock at someone else's door?

The clock gets closer to midnight

I know our time is almost up

I got a plane to catch tonight

While you're having fun in the club.

Will tell my new friends about you

Will show them lyrics that we know

A different name, met someone new

Lesson titled "how to let go".

In a few years, you'll find my picture

Pandora's box under the bed

With things you keep hidden with stricture

Forgotten somewhere in the shed.

You'll give the box away this time.

You're moving out, I'm moving on 

You keep my picture. Not a crime

While talking to her on the telephone.

And I stay quiet, but I know

The many rules you broke so far

To spend the time you spent with her

Once more, in your getaway car.
