The One That Got Away

The One That Got Away

Allister
(album: Last Stop Suburbia)

You left a guy who told you where to be and when
I was with a girl who tried to sleep with my best friend
We both took comfort in each others messy lives
Finding warmth on that cold November night
We swore it´d be years before we brought that on again
Days later you said that we should be more
than just friends
I let my guard down cause the feelings were so strong
But acted stupid and that´s when he came along

It´s been so long
I should just move on
There´s other fish in the sea
But I keep hoping that you´ll swim back home to me

We´d sneak out and go swimming late at night
You´re one of few who can say they´ve seen me cry
You got my quirkiness and awkward sense of humor
We shared Simpson quote and started made up rumors

If night turned into day you´d hide me from your mom
I could never fight with you cause you were never wrong
This time especially the blame is all on me
If I´d not screwed things up I wonder where we´d be

One day for no reason I broke our date
So you made other plans that day
And that´s when you met him
And why you´re still with him today

I keep hoping you´ll swim back home to me
I´m just glad I got a chance to know you
You´ll forever be the one that got away
