The One That Got Away Lyrics by Wild Belle

Dreamland

2016

[Verse 1]
Listen up got my heart broken
I never knew it could be this fun
Leaving you is the best thing I ever done
Move across town in a big white van
I been dreaming 'bout California
I gotta leave your galaxy so I can be a star
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
[Chorus]
Life without you is like a roller coaster
I see the sunshine
Been such a long time
Moving on to better days
I'm making my escape
This is a jail break
I'm the one that got away
[Verse 2]
Tie me up but I had to get gone
Yousa murderer and I'm not a dumb-dumb
Think about me when you're on your own
Can you make bam-bam with your Harley Davidson
I'm up here, I'm so high
Caught a pretty sucker that could take me for a ride
You're down there
Ha ha ha
[Chorus]
Life without you is like a roller coaster
I see the sunshine
Been such a long time
Moving on to better days
I'm making my escape
This is a jail break
I'm the one that got away
[Outro]
I found better days
I had to hit the rocks
Before I started riding waves
I found better days
I had to hit the rocks
Before I started riding waves
I see the sunshine
Been such a long time
Moving on to better days
I'm making my escape
This is a jail break
I'm the one that got away
