Got That
d-lou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's such an odd relation
Fireworks spark when we collide
We found a way to put out the rumours
And what a failed salvation
We fell short by pretending like
We knew everything about our future
No harmony or a tune just two
Slow dancing kooks on a rooftop
I foresaw the trembling glow on your face from the moonlight
Raise hell and go stark raving mad
Show off your dress, red and blue plaid
I'm no longer a fit for your mould
Though I'm glad that my gifts might
Cause darling even after all
Despite our hope to make the fall
Sometimes I wish I never knew you
And darling everything's alright
The only thing that stings my eye
Is my regret for loving you, the one that got away
Could we have won the battle
Win a victory by cheating the war
Raise a chance for an ever after
And what about history making our love seem
Like a forfeit dream playing on repeat
I'm, I'm holding out for answers
No harmony or a tune just two
Slow dancing kooks on a rooftop
I foresaw the trembling shadow on your face from the dark night
Cause darling even after all
Despite our hope to make the fall
Sometimes I wish I never knew you
And darling everything's alright
The only thing that stings my eye
Is my regret for loving you, the one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
A love that's just an illusion
Will soon begin to loosen
I foresaw the writings on the wall
Just as clear as day light
Cause darling even after all
Despite our hope to make the fall
Sometimes I wish I never knew you
And darling everything's alright
The only thing that stings my eye
Is my regret for loving you, the one that got away
The one that got away




The one I led astray
The one that got away
