lyrics

The Ones Who Got Away
If everybody thinks that he´s the chosen one –
These notions always passed me by

Woke up this morning ´n felt like someone pressed repeat
So I turned around and closed the blinds – again

And so I tried and tried and waited eagerly –
For the feeling to finally being set free

But no matter how I tried to make it work out right –
Couldn´t make it look like in the magazines,
no no no

And still I hear you pray
To be the one who got away
Asking for a longer chain
Asking for a bigger cage

Salute your leftover friends, man
And down the leftover drinks
Make sure to make it home before they`re gonna kick in

So drop your fake alibis, man
N´hope that you will slip by
Wonderin´ bout the mess that you left behind
And still I hear you pray
To be the one who got away
Asking for a longer chain
Asking for a bigger cage
