The Love 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.
If you live long enough
You start to think about a list
Of what you would do differently
The chances that you would take
The grand ceilings you would break
The loving life that you would make
I know two or three
You keep your eye on
In case you are free
You keep your eye on
All the people passing by
I wonder how they live their lives
And think of one outside of mine
I imagine and I envy all of their discoveries
Their simple, plain complexities
And I know two or three
You keep your eye on
In case they are free
You keep your eye on
You and I both know
It's hard to say
That ours is a love
That got away
