“Getaway Car” is a track taken from sinver and former Glee star Lea Michele’s second studio album Places. Michele calls the song one of her “absolute” favorites on the album. The understated ballad about escaping into the bliss of falling in love allows Lea’s confident voice to soar over simple pian...
[Verse 1]
Two kids with curious hearts
Not afraid to break
Running wild, running too far
Trying to find a way
[Pre-Chorus]
Rubbing pennies together, for worse or for better
One glass of cheap champagne
It's now or it's never, we hope it's forever
All we got's one way, leaving fingerprints behind
[Chorus]
'Cause if I got you, if you got me
We don't need nothing else at all
Sleeping all day, driving all night
Looking for a place we want to go
Stole the night, now this world is ours, love
Just us kids in a getaway car
[Verse 2]
Change our names, make friends in new places
Be anyone we want
Through the days, millions of faces
We're always holding on
[Pre-Chorus]
Rubbing pennies together, for worse or for better
One glass of cheap champagne
It's now or it's never, we hope it's forever
We ran away, leaving fingerprints behind
[Chorus]
'Cause if I got you, if you got me
We don't need nothing else at all
Sleeping all day, driving all night
Looking for a place to call our home
Stole the night, now this world is ours, love
We're chasing love in a getaway car
[Bridge]
And we're singing
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you're crazy
But babe, if we're crazy, I'd rather be crazy
We don't need anything at all
We'll find a place to call our own
Rubbing pennies together, for worse or for better
One glass of cheap champagne
It's all or it's never, we hope it's forever, our love
[Chorus]
If I got you, if you got me
We don't need anything at all
Sleeping all day, driving all night
Looking for a place to call our own
Stole the night, now this world is ours, love
It's just us kids in a getaway car
[Outro]
Two kids with curious hearts, not afraid to break

When asked “How much wine did you enjoy during the recording of your new album Places?” Lea responded:
(Laughs) No wine during the recording of Places, I’ll tell you that. It was too vocally challenging, so none in the recording studio!
