Thoughts on the One Who Got Away by the One He Lef Lyrics
If I'm living in the same motel
It's not because I'm scared of finally breaking out
Only hoping that you're coming back around
I'm still working at the ?
Got myself a little raise but nothing's changed
Leaves that fall at city hall call your name
You ran away from me
I never thought you'd leave
It's ruined everything
This world's too big
They still miss you at the flower shop
Lilies bloom and fill the room it's all too much
Kathryn-Ann says things are finally looking up
Bought myself a little house, I paint it brown
The grass it grows I push my mow it's working out
Deep, deep down I'm holding out that it's ?
You ran away from me
I never thought you'd leave
It's ruined everything
This world's too big
Heard you love somebody else just yesterday
Know you didn't mean it and it's just a phase
We're not dead and really I don't mind to wait
Put a chair up behind the high way sign
Roads are pretty quiet no one's passing by
At least I'll be the first to see you back as mine
It's not because I'm scared of finally breaking out
Only hoping that you're coming back around
Got myself a little raise but nothing's changed
Leaves that fall at city hall call your name
I never thought you'd leave
It's ruined everything
This world's too big
Lilies bloom and fill the room it's all too much
Kathryn-Ann says things are finally looking up
The grass it grows I push my mow it's working out
Deep, deep down I'm holding out that it's ?
I never thought you'd leave
It's ruined everything
This world's too big
Know you didn't mean it and it's just a phase
We're not dead and really I don't mind to wait
Roads are pretty quiet no one's passing by
At least I'll be the first to see you back as mine

I'm not sure about the lyrics in a few spots? Though it's hard to hear what he's saying.
"Got myself a little raise but nothing strange"
Maybe that's
"Got myself a little raise but nothing's changed"?
"Leaves left, fall left, city hollow calls your name"
I always heard it as something like
"Leaves that fall at city hall call your name"
"Deep, deep down I'm old enough that it's alright"
I think it's something like
"Deep, deep down I'm holding out that it's ____"
though I have no idea what the last word/phrase is there. ><
"Put a cherub behind the high way sign Roads are pretty quiet no one's passing by Please stop, be the first to see you're back as mine "
I always heard it as
"Put a chair up behind the highway sign Roads are pretty quiet, no one's passing by [At] least I'll be the first to see you back as mine"
Like s/he's waiting on the side of the road waiting for him to come back to her.
Again, I'm not sure exactly what he's saying in some spots, though I did go and listen to the song just now to check, and that's just what it sounds like on my ipod. ^^;
