The One That Got Away Lyrics - The Civil Wars - The Civil Wars

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 bit 

I wish you were the one 

Wish you were the one that got away 

Oh, 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 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, mmm 

Oh, 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 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 

Oh, 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 never ever seen your face 

I wish you were the one 

I wish you were the one 

Oh, I wish you were the one 

I wish you were the one that got away
