The One That Got Away lyrics

She rolled in

My little sandy town

She spent the summer there

A couple houses down

Well it was magic in the air

When she caught my eye

We shared three short months

And one long goodbye

She was the one that got away

The one that wrecked my heart

I should've never let her go

I should've begged her to stay

She was the one that got away

Yeah, the one that got away

Well she kissed my lips

Down on Ocean Drive

She set my world on fire

On the fourth of July

We wrote our names in the sand

Under the star-soaked sky

But it washed away like she did

With the rising tide

She was the one that got away

The one that wrecked my heart

I should've never let her go

I should've begged her to stay

She was the one that got away

Every summer that rolls around

I'm looking over my shoulder

Wishing I could see her face

Wishing I could hold her

She was the one that got away

The one that wrecked my heart

I should've never let her go

I should've begged her to stay

She was the one that got away

Yeah, she was the one that got away

The one that wrecked my heart

I should've never let her go

I should've begged her to stay

She was the one that got away

She was the one that got away

She rolled in

My little sandy town

She spent the summer there

A couple houses down
