Send off the letter
Seal it with a kiss and see
If some piece of a lover comes back to me
Think of the start
Feels like forever
I miss your apartment
I miss your apartment
There, I said it, straight from the heart
I tried my hardest
Sunsets the scene
Secrets I kept
Floor-length dresses
Concrete steps
Your lips to my ear
Whisper the words
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
In a bad way, it's been a hell of a year
Slept in the road, woke up in tears
It's been a hell of a year, yeah, yeah
You've got lots of ways to fade
To fade back into view
So you do, yeah, you do, yeah, you do
In truth, you never really were the one that got away
You just did what I wanted you to
You got the letter
Didn't read a word I said
Hold tight to the storyline in your head
A few trips, a few cars
Late night bars
One harmless apartment
It's just an apartment
There's a few dozen, all in a line
None of them knew what happened that night
Well hey, neither do I
You've got lots of ways to fade
To fade back into view
So you do, yeah, you do, yeah, you do
In truth, you never really were the one that got away
You just did what I wanted you to
The party is a jungle
Fresh from the rain
I'm by the river
Your venom in my veins
The moon has gone dark
Forgive the forbidden
I miss your apartment
Your apartment
Somehow I've divinely arrived
Midnight dizzy
Sick from the drive
Safe in the harbor
Your apartment
You've got lots of ways to fade
To fade back into view
So you do, yeah, you do, yeah, you do
In truth, you never really were the one that got away
You just did what I wanted you to
Yeah, you did what I wanted you to
Yeah, you did what I wanted you to
