Never be the one
We're making out in your Sprinter
Holding me close, it was winter
I put Tame Impala on, you said
You only knew one song
Travel the world just to see you
Smoking cigars at Lulu
All I got from that fight we had is the heart-shaped rocks still in my back
Always say we'll do it when we're older
But that day keeps getting
Closer, I don't want this to be
Over, I like the way you'll never be the one
Who got away?
Never be the one
Who had to stay?
Never be the one
Never be the one
I like the way you'll never be the one
Who broke my heart?
I'm never gonna let
It get that far
Never be the one
Never be the one
We need a knife for the tension
All of our friends keep mentioning
The way we love each other
But in what way friends are lovers?
Always say we'll do it when we're older
But that day keeps getting
Closer, I don't want this to be
Over, I like the way you'll never be the one
Who got away?
Never be the one
Who had to stay?
Never be the one
Never be the one
I like the way you'll never be the one
Who broke my heart?
I'm never gonna let
It get that far
Never be the one
Never be the one
I can't hate you
So that's why I can't take you
I hate how it sounds
I never say never, but it's never for now
Who got away?
Never be the one
Who had to stay?
Never be the one
Never be the one
I like the way you'll never be the one
Who broke my heart?
I'm never gonna let
It get that far
Never be the one
Never be the one
I like the way you'll never be the one
Who got away?
Never be the one
Who had to stay?
Never be the one
Never be the one
(Never be the one)
Never be the one
