One That Got Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Laying low in the sunlight
Getting high off an open road
Hideaway from the crossfire
Maybe just for a week or so
Leaving my story behind
If just for the night
I got my own plans this time
Laying low in the sunlight
What's the worst that could happen
If I run
From everything I thought I wanted
Three thousand miles from where it's all begun
I could pretend that I was honest
But if I'm honest, I'm not
The colors of the flags all blend together
And all the cities start to feel the same
Yeah people come and go with things they wish they woulda told
But I won't let you be the one that got away
Won't let you be the one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Laying low in the sunlight
Got a lot on my mind back home
Tag along if it feels right
Couldn't care less where we go
Leaving my story behind
If just for the night
I got my own plans this time
Laying low in the sunlight
What's the worst that could happen
If I run
From all the mystery surrounding
Not everything can work out how we want
I could pretend that I was honest
But if I'm honest, I'm not
The colors of the flags all blend together
And all the cities start to feel the same
Yeah people come and go with things they wish they woulda told
But I won't let you be the one that got away
Won't let you be the one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
You know, you know, you know
The one that got away
The colors of the flags all blend together (the one that got away)
And all the cities start to feel the same (the one that got away)
Yeah people come and go with things they wish they woulda told
But I won't let you be the one that got away (the one that got away)
Won't let you be the one that got away
