  • I never meant to get us in this deep
    I never meant for this to mean a thing
    Oh, I wish you were the one
    Wish you were the one that got away

    I got caught up by the chase
    And you got high on every little bit
    I wish you were the one
    Wish you were the one that got away

    Oh, if I could go back in time
    When you only held me in my mind
    Just a longing, gone without a trace
    Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
    I wish you were the one
    Wish you were the one that got away

    I miss the way you wanted me
    When I was staying just out of your reach
    Begging for the slightest touch
    Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm

    Oh, if I could go back in time
    When you only held me in my mind
    Just a longing, gone without a trace
    Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
    I wish you were the one
    Wish you were the one that got away

    Got away from me
    Got away from me
    For anybody has to breathe

    Oh, if I could go back in time
    When you only held me in my mind
    Just a longing, gone without a trace
    Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
    I wish you were the one
    I wish you were the one
    Oh, I wish you were the one
    I wish you were the one that got away Writer/s: Charlie Peacock, John White, Joy Elizabeth Williams
