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
I told the world One day I would pay it back Say it on tape and lay it, record it So one day I can play it back But I don't even know if I believe it When I'm saying that Y'all starting to creep in Everyday it's just so gray and black Hope I just needa ray of that Coz no one sees my vision When I play it for 'em they just say its wack But they don't know what dope is And I don't know if I was awake or asleep When I wrote this All I know is You came to me when I was at my lowest You picked me up Breathing life in me I owe my life to you But for the life of me I don't see Why you don't see like I do But it dawned on me You lost a son See this light in you it's dark Let me turn on the lights and brighten me And enlighten you I don't think you realize What you mean to me, not the slightest clue Coz me and you were like a crew I was like your sidekick You either gonna wanna fight When I get off this fucking mic Or you gonna hug me But I'm out of options Nothing else that I can do 'cause I'm about to lose my mind You've been gone for so long I'm running out of time I need a doctor Call me a doctor I need a doctor, doctor To bring me back to life
I've tried playing it cool Girl when I'm looking at you I can't ever be brave Cause you make my heart race Shot me outta the sky You're my kryptonite You keep making me weak Yeah, frozen and can't breathe Something's gotta give now Cause I'm dying just to make you see That I need you here with me now Cause you've got that one thing So get out, get out, get outta my head And fall into my arms instead I don't, I don't, don't know what it is But I need that one thing, and you've got that one thing
