Onward
The Boy That Got Away Lyrics

Say it again, say it again
Repeating the request to hear the affirmation from the person the singer is addressing

You are the only one
This person is the only one the singer desires and needs

Time took it's toll, bound to fall
The passage of time has had a detrimental effect on the relationship between the singer and this person they want/need

Diving into the ground
The singer feels like they are falling and crashing hard

Falling again, falling again
Continuing to experience the same negative emotional response

I couldn't let it be
The singer wasn't able to leave the situation alone or let it naturally dissolve

I crash and i burn
Singer's response to the negative situation was explosive and disruptive

Now it's your turn
The singer is now requesting that the person the song is addressed to feel the pain they've caused

See whats inside of me
The singer is inviting the person to see the actual consequences of their actions

Take me some place
The singer is looking to start anew somewhere else and get away from the problematic relationship

Drive me somewhere
Traveling away from the current location of the relationship with this person is necessary

Say it's allright
The singer needs the person to give explicit permission for leaving without emotional baggage or guilt

Don't forget/forgive me
The singer doesn't want to be wiped from this person's memory, and potentially forgiving them trumps being forgotten

Run ahead??
Uncertainty whether the person can successfully move forward after the relationship

You can't/can change it
Whether or not this person can change the course of the relationship, either negatively or positively, is up in the air

Crawl from your hideout
Rising up from an emotionally or physically sheltered state and moving forward is a requirement

Dont you dare say you can/can't make it
The singer emphatically doesn't want the person to make any rash decisions about their future if they're uncertain about whether or not they can handle the aftermath of the relationship ending

No one is waiting
The person shouldn't assume that they have a fallback after the relationship ends, as no one is guaranteed to be there for them in the aftermath

Do it again, do it again
Demanding a repeat of the behavior or situation that led to the demise of the relationship

Give me the "line of then?"
The singer is requesting the truth about what happened and how the relationship ended

Look for a change
Seeking a catalyst for new beginnings and altered behavior

A trail in the maze
An identifiable path within the chaos that the relationship devolved into

The words are bitter
The singer's emotions are cloaked in negative language and pain

Try to recal
The singer is attempting to go back and assess where things went wrong and how to make it right

How could we fall
The singer is baffled and hurt by how the relationship has unraveled

We were the lucky ones
The singer is acknowledging the good things they had before the relationship took a negative turn

End to end, how did it bend
A rhetorical question about how the relationship went from positive to negative

We should have known
The singer is acknowledging mistakes made in the relationship, and realizes in hindsight that things could have been done differently
