The One That Got Away Lyrics - Songs That We Wrote - Rock City

Mmmm mm yeah 

Oh oh 

I stood by the exit door of the hotel cafe 

He was playing with his band 

I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand 

His words were like heaven in my hurricane 

My knees buckled under 

I thought everyone was watching me 

Watching you save my life with the song 

You were mine 

In the back of my mind 

Oh just for one night 

Just for a while 

There's always one that gets away 

The one that sneaks up on you that slips away 

Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment 

He was making cappuchino 

I said what kind of man makes cappuchino 

We laughed 

We laughed 

We laughed 

We laughed til tears ran down my face 

Oh but my man you're someone elses man 

And that aint the man that I want 

But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lion eyes 

You'll always be mine 

In the back of my mind 

Oh we had a night 

Just a little wine 

There's always one that gets away 

The one that sneaks up on you that slips away 

In a closed off corner of my heart yes 

I'll always see your face 

The one that got away 

One that got away 

The one that got away 

The one that got away 

Oh the one that got away 

The one that got away 

Oh the one that got away 

The one that got away 

Oh the one that got away 

Yeah yeah 

Oh oh oh oh 

Yeah yeah 

Oh 

I'm not a victim of cliches 

I don't believe in soul mates 

Happy endings only one 

Oh and I met you and all that changed 

I had a taste and you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue 

You were mine 

Somewhere in time 

I'll look for you first 

In my next life 

There's always one that gets away 

The one that sneaks up on you that slips away 

Slips away 

In a closed off corner of my heart yeah yeah yeah yeah 

I I'll always see your face 

The one that got away 

The one that got away 

The one that got away 

The one that got away 

Oh the one that got away 

The one that got away 

Oh the one that got away 

The one that got away 

The one that got away 

Yeah yeah 

Oh oh yeah 

The one that got away
