The Standard
[Verse 1]
Five years ago I lost her — the one who got away,
The one I can’t get over, why I’m single still today.
Romance always escapes me, no matter what I do,
I guess I’m just still hoping for a little déjà vu.
[Chorus]
You set the standard,
You made the mark,
All women are measured,
And all women fall short.
I keep on searching,
It’s all I can do —
You set the standard,
But they just aren’t you.
[Verse 2]
I don’t care how we ended if we could have one more try,
Restart what we stopped, make up for lost time.
Since the day she left me, I’ve only felt regret —
She set the standard no other woman’s met.
[Chorus]
You set the standard,
You made the mark,
All women are measured,
And all women fall short.
I keep on searching,
It’s all I can do —
You set the standard,
But they just aren’t you.
[Bridge]
We were lightning in a bottle, no fire burned as hot
The closer we got together the hotter that it got
[Verse 3]
Call it a missed connection — a connection that I miss,
I still long for her affection, the feeling of her kiss.
I know she’s out there somewhere, hope she feels the same,
Still searching for love — and I’m the one to blame
[Final Chorus]
[Outro]
