I remember taking drives
Up near the seaside
Said you wanna be my bride
Said I made you laugh
Liked it when I did it like that
When I said I loved you
You always said it back
No AC, yep, we only had a fan
Was so damn hot, yet, we didn't give a damn
I remember laying blankets on the sand
I remember making out in the back of the van
I never said, "I'm sorry"
I really can't explain
I really cannot say, that you had any blame
'Cause i was in the wrong
And you were in the right
I guess that's why
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one
I never thought I'd be here
I never thought it'd end
The day you said goodbye
I tried to pretend
Like you ain't mean nothin'
But I was just frontin'
I guess that's why
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one that got away
I remember waving bye
Hoping you wouldn't cry
'Cause I told so many lies
Twenty years have passed
And I know
You're never coming back
Last time I called
You wouldn't hit me back
Now I see, yep
I never should've ran
I should've told the truth
Yep, I should've been a man
I'm always building castles in the sand
I never plan for the tide
Now it's high, and I'm damned
I never said, "I'm sorry"
I really can't explain
I really cannot say, that you had any blame
'Cause i was in the wrong
And you were in the right
I guess that's why
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one
I never thought I'd be here
I never thought it'd end
The day you said goodbye
I tried to pretend
Like you ain't mean nothin'
But I was just frontin'
I guess that's why
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one that got away
Away, away
You're the one that got away
