Girl Who Got Away Lyrics by Dido

Girl Who Got Away (Expanded Edition)

2013

[Verse 1]
I wanna move with the seasons
And go with the flow
And take it easy and let stuff go
I wanna sleep like a baby
Rise with the sun
And kick it all back and get nothing done
I wanna make this day
The longest day
With a warmth that
Delivers happiness
[Chorus]
If only for today
I wanna be the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna take sides
Don't wanna make sense
Of pounds and pence
I want to be alone
I don't wanna hide
Don't wanna be talked over
Or walked upon
I wanna think the heart
Is bigger than the head
Wanna follow you, but not be led
[Chorus]
If only for today
I wanna be, the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
[Bridge]
I know what it's like to be passed over
To go unnoticed, to be clumsy, get things wrong
And I know what it's like to arrive too late
To be told to leave, to be walked upon
[Chorus]
If only for today
I wanna be the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
If only for today
I wanna be the girl who got away
The lover who really loved
The dancer who danced
To the last song
