The One That Got Away
I grew up beneath the treesNot far from the refineriesAimed at the sky like smoking gunsI learned to walk, I learned to run awayIn tracing back our historyIt's a wonder how we came to beA love driven through a dozen statesWith your technique for keeping me awakeThe day we met is still a blurThough I remember just how nice you wereAnd what you wore in Central ParkAnd how you left before the darkness fell [Chorus](Now) I cry over these stringsThis sentimental case of thingsThough I'm better with each passing dayI guess you'll be the one that got away'Cause everyone has one of thoseYou wear them like you wear your clothesExcept they don't come off at night They are the space you hold up to the lightAnd somewhere along the lineSongtexteYou'll turn into a friend of mineWho knows of my unspoken caresAmid the aftermath of love affairs(Still...)[Chorus]Now I stand beneath these treesNot far from the refineriesAimed at the sky like a smoking gunI'll learn to walk, I'll learn to run again
