lyrics

THE ONES THAT GOT AWAY
---------------------------------------
He walks in through the door, wonders what he came here for
It’s not exactly clear
He has no part to play, even so he’s bound to stay
There’s no-one else around
He walks up to the bar, wonders how he got so far
From where it all began
When he was young and able - in love and almost stable
For now he’s all alone

And someone, somewhere will recall when he could’ve had it all
The one that got away remembers to this day:

“It would be nice and easy if we had our time again
We might just get there in the end”
It would be so easy it is just possible
He would make the same mistakes again

She loved him from afar - who knows what her reasons are
For keeping it that way
She’s always hiding something - worried about revealing something
That someone else could use
She is the independent prosecution and defendant
For everything she’s done
And now this baby girl that grew up in her mothers world
Has wound up all alone

And someone, somewhere far away - she misses every day
She doubted him before but she is not so sure now:

“It would be nice and easy if we had our time again
We might just get there in the end”
It would be so easy it is just possible
She would make the same mistakes again

There are some things in life too valuable for us to hold
And so we push them all away
And now it’s much too late to tell you how I’m lost without the tenderness
And love and trust and warmth I once had found in you…

"It would be nice and easy if we had our time again
We might just get there in the end"
It would be so easy it is just possible
I would make the same mistakes again
