Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your coat on the back of my chair
Coffee gone cold by the sink
We laughed ’til the neighbors complained
Now it’s quiet enough to think
You said forever like a promise
I wore it like a ring
I kept every little message
Didn’t keep you
That’s the thing
[Pre-Chorus]
How did we break
Something that fit like skin
I replay every word
Till the tape wears thin (oh)
[Chorus]
You’re the one that got away
But you’re also still my someday
Every face in every crowd
Just a shadow
Just a shade
If I meet somebody new
I compare them all to you
Every almost
Every halfway
’Cause the one that got away
Is you
[Verse 2]
Friends say I’ve gotta move on
They don’t see you in my sleep
You show up in old songs
In the car on endless repeat
I’m fine in the middle of daylight
But it hits when the world goes dim
I scroll past your smiling picture
And fall off the edge again
[Pre-Chorus]
How did we lose
Something that felt so sure
I keep knocking on a door
That’s not yours anymore (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re the one that got away
But you’re also still my someday
Every face in every crowd
Just a shadow
Just a shade
If I meet somebody new
I compare them all to you
Every almost
Every halfway
’Cause the one that got away
Is you
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re under the same sky
Checking your phone at night
Typing my name
Then thinking twice
If there’s a world where we’re alright
I hope we find it this time
’Cause losing you once
Already took this life
[Chorus]
You’re the one that got away
But you’re also still my someday
Every face in every crowd
Just a shadow
Just a shade
If I meet somebody new
I compare them all to you
Every almost
Every halfway
’Cause the one that got away
The only one I ever stayed
Afraid to lose
Afraid to face
Is you (is you)
