Got Away Lyrics by Van Buren

The Long Way Home

2022

[Verse 1]
It never rains in California
Been here a month and it's poured on me three times
I bet it's raining in Tribeca
Would that be poetic or am I pathetic tonight
You been all over the past few years
Do you remember the last night I let you down
I think it might have been that New Years
Where we closed the door that we left cracked before
And now said, "You go your way baby, I'll go mine"
[Chorus]
But I hope you're doin' fine
At a rooftop party with a bottle of wine
Singing with your friends at the top of your lungs
Head on the shoulder of somebody of you love
And I know we're better now
It's a good thing we could never figure it out
We never could agree but now I think we can say
I'm happy we can be the ones that got away
[Verse 2]
Maybe it was the distance, yeah
Maybe it was the fact that I hated your friends
Or maybe we were too different
It don't matter now cause it worked itself out in the end
But I still think of you from time to time
[Chorus]
And I hope you're doin fine
At a rooftop party with a bottle of wine
Singing with your friends at the top of your lungs
Head on the shoulder of somebody of you love
And I know we're better now
It's a good thing we could never figure it out
We never could agree but now I think we can say
I'm happy we can be the ones that got away
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah we're the ones that got away
Yeah we're the ones that got away
[Bridge]
You should know I'm doin' fine
I still drive that same Honda from 2005
Found myself a girl
You two would get along
Finally got it right
So thanks for being wrong
[Chorus]
But I hope you're doin' fine
At a rooftop party with a bottle of wine
Singing with your friends at the top of your lungs
Head on the shoulder of somebody of you love
And I know we're better now
It's a good thing we could never figure it out
We never could agree but now I think we can say
I'm happy we can be the ones that got away
[Outro]
(Ooo, we'll be the ones)
(Ooo, we'll be the ones) The ones that got away now
(Ooo we'll be the ones that got away, got away)
Yeah we're the ones that got away
(Ooo, we'll be the ones)
(Ooo, we'll be the ones) The ones that got away now
(Ooo we'll be the ones that got away, got away)
Yeah we're the ones that got away, got away
