Get Away With It
Escaping Love's Grip: How'd You Slip Away?
Lyrics
I was a cold beer in a bar
The persona likens themselves to a cold beer in a bar, possibly portraying a sense of being refreshing but contained.
A souped up muscle car
Comparing themselves to a high-powered car, hinting at a feeling of strength or intensity.
Tryin' to see how far
Expressing the desire to test limits or boundaries, metaphorically represented by the westbound highway.
The westbound highway rolls
Continuing the metaphor of traveling, implying a transient lifestyle without roots.
Cabbie town to town
Describing constant movement from place to place without establishing lasting connections.
No roots down in the ground
Highlighting a lack of attachment or commitments, possibly suggesting a sense of freedom.
No plans to settle down
Indicating a lack of definitive plans to settle down or establish a stable life.
How'd you get away with this?
Expressing confusion and wonder about how someone managed to leave without consequences, acknowledging their own emotional turmoil.
They don't know how you did it
-I'm the one that's supposed to run
-But I didn't
-You're the one that I'm missin'
-And I'm the one who fell apart
-Yeah I know you drove away and stole my heart
-But how'd you get away with it?
-How'd you get away with it?
Repeated questioning about the other person's ability to depart without repercussions, while expressing the speaker's emotional turmoil and longing for the person who left.
I got your goodbye note
-Just like the ones I wrote
-When somebody got to close
-And I had to cut 'em loose
-Damn how things have changed
-Now you're the one on that old two lane
-Beatin' me in my own game
-How'd you get away with this?
-They don't know how you did it
-I'm the one that's supposed to run
-But I didn't
-You're the one that I'm missin'
-And I'm the one who fell apart
-Yeah I know you drove away and stole my heart
-But how'd you get away with it?
-How'd you get away with it?
-How'd you get away with this?
Continued questioning about the other person's departure, expressing the confusion and emotional impact it had on the speaker.
They don't know how you did it

-And I'm the one who fell apart
-Yeah I know you drove away and stole my heart
-But how'd you get away with it?
-What goes around comes around
Reflecting on the idea of karma and consequences, acknowledging that the speaker might have received what they deserved as a result of the situation.
There's a lot of tune to them words
-Girl you got the best of me
-And I got what I deserve
-How'd you get away with this?
