Girl Who 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.
I wanna move with the seasons
Go with the flow
Take it easy and let stuff go
I wanna sleep like a baby
And rise with the sun
Kick it all back and get nothing done
Wanna make this day the longest day
With a warmth that delivers happiness
If only for today
I wanna be the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
Don't wanna take sides
Don't wanna make sense
Of pounds and pence
I want to be alive
Don't wanna hide
Don't wanna be talked over
Or walked upon
I wanna think the heart
Is bigger than the head
Wanna follow you, but not be led
If only for today
I wanna be the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
I know what it's like
To be passed over
To go unnoticed
To be clumsy get things wrong
and I know what it's like
To arrive too late
To be told to leave
To be walked upon
If only for today
I wanna be the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
