The One That Got Away 歌詞

I grew up beneath the trees Not far from the refineries Aimed at the sky like smoking guns I learned to walk, I learned to run away In tracing back our history It's a wonder how we came to be A love driven through a dozen states With your technique for keeping me awake The day we met is still a blur Though I remember just how nice you were And what you wore in Central Park And how you left before the darkness fell (Chorus) (Now) I cry over these strings This sentimental case of things Though I'm better with each passing day I guess you'll be the one that got away 'Cause everyone has one of those You wear them like you wear your clothes Except they don't come off at night They are the space you hold up to the light And somewhere along the line You'll turn into a friend of mine Who knows of my unspoken cares Amid the aftermath of love affairs (Still...) (Chorus) Now I stand beneath these trees Not far from the refineries Aimed at the sky like a smoking gun I'll learn to walk, I'll learn to run again
