Lyrics

There?s a hill on the horizon
On a good day you can see it stand
Separated in another world on display

There?s a house over the other side
Lights are on and you can see the man
In the window he?s the one who got away

There?s an ocean and a winding road
Making sure you catch your death of chill
If you disregard the warning signs and stay

Looking closer there is someone else
Walking through the house beyond the hill
She?s the one who caught the one who got away

It?s taken years to erase the regrets
And build a belief that there?s one better yet.
It?s kindled by faith and extinguished by doubt,
but I go on hoping ?cause I can?t live without

There?s a broken heart who found repair
In somebody else?s seaside home
He?s decided to remain there all his years.

If I had said, ?YES? 6 years ago
Would I be living on the ocean side
Instead of singing ?bout regrets and fallen tears?

And miles of time wipe away little dreams
and make way for more realistic things.
One day I?ll walk down his road again so he can say:

There was once a woman in my life
Sometimes I think back and wonder still
I think she could be the one who got away
I think she could be the one who got away
