The Ones That Got Away

There was a girl Under stars she lay Smooth lips upon mine Contemplating to stay I can't believe That I'm standing face to face With this much beauty at my own place It feels so surreal how this night is culminating I've been waiting for this moment of fate But in the sweet summer breeze A decision to make, I say There's something good going on here but hey I know your dream's about to take you far from this place I ain't gonna be inspiring dreams to go to waste So I add another name to the ones that got away Pardon me, this prophecy ain't coming true just yet It's part of me In time you'll see That everything will fit Right where it's supposed to be She was on the rebound I was ready to catch You know I thought I was a number one Player like that But as a matter of fact I'm not that mac I thought I was You know you never see an MVP falling in love She would wake me up in the morning With a fresh cup of coffee Had my favorite qualities in a woman Not being able to keep her hands off me But softly it crept in The Shadow of Death I knew that we didn't have a lot of time left I do the best that I can As a peculiar man But soon I became just another Also Ran But I'm proud of the fact That I didn't kill a cat that day When she became the one that got away Pardon me, this prophecy ain't coming true just yet It's part of me In time you'll see That everything will fit Right where it's supposed to be This prophecy ain't coming true just yet It's part of me In time you'll see That everything will fit Right where it's supposed to be Now let's reminisce on these lips that I kissed On the beach in Belize, we were both on a trip Up a coconut tree's where I went to get a glimpse Of this Chi-Town beauty hanging with her older sis Enter two brothers older than me Trying to see what they could get From these couple blondies One pulls me aside Says yo, you got to go All in for the win, cause I'm past my prime But you? I think you're ready, this is just your time And that girl Cassie? Well she's looking mighty fine So I take her for a walk Away from the club I had no game, but I had a lot of love For what she had to say This was time well spent I leaned into her lips Then away she went Now eight years later I'm writing this song Cause I don't have her number And her address? It's gone So maybe someday this thing called fate Will erase your name from the ones that got away Pardon me, this prophecy ain't coming true just yet It's part of me In time you'll see That everything will fit Right where it's supposed to be This prophecy ain't coming true just yet It's part of me In time you'll see That everything will fit Right where it's supposed to be This prophecy ain't coming true just yet It's part of me In time you'll see That everything will fit Right where it's supposed to be
