The flowers that you chose were most unusual

for such a bright and sunny day

and all the ones who tried to reach you 

all the things they want to teach you

You are the one who got away



The places you were in were so confining

you never found all that much to say

and the ones that you confided in

were the ones who tried to turn you in

You are the one who got away



The style that you chose is most indifferent

you never worried much about taboo

and the things that made it hard for you

are the things that make me wild about you

you are the one who got away

you are the one who got away
