The Civil Wars - The One That Got Away lyrics

rate me

I never meant to get us in this deep

I never meant for this to mean a thing

Oh I wish you were the one

Wish you were the one that got away

I got caught up by the chase

And you got high on every little game

I wish you were the one

Wish you were the one that got away

Oooh if I could go back in time

When you only held me

In my mind just a longing

Gone without a trace

Oh I wish I'd never

Ever seen your face

I wish you were the one

Wish you were the one that got away

I miss the way you wanted me

When I was staying just out of your reach

Begging for the slightest touch

Ooh you couldn't get enough mmmmm

Oooh if I could go back in time

When you only held me

In my mind just a longing

Gone without a trace

Oh I wish I'd never

Ever seen your face

I wish you were the one

Wish you were the one that got away

Got away from me

Got away from me

For anybody has to breathe

Oooh if I could go back in time

When you only held me

In my mind just a longing

Gone without a trace

Oh I wish I'd never

Ever seen your face

I wish you were the one

I wish you were the one

Wish you were the one

I wish you were the one

Wish you were the one that got away
