the morning drive - the ones that got away lyrics

[verse 1]
there was a girl
under stars she lay
smooth lips upon mine
contemplating to stay
i can’t believe
that i’m standing face to face
with this much beauty at my own place
it feels so surreal how this night is culminating
i’ve been waiting for this moment of fate
but in the sweet summer breeze
a decision to make, i say
there’s something good going on here but hey
i know your dream’s about to take you far from this place
i ain’t gonna be inspiring dreams to go to waste
so i add another name to the ones that got away

[chorus]
pardon me, this prophecy ain’t coming true just yet
it’s part of me
in time you’ll see
that everything will fit
right where it’s supposed to be

[verse 2]
she was on the rebound
i was ready to catch
you know i thought i was a number one
player like that
but as a matter of fact
i’m not that mac i thought i was
you know you never see an mvp falling in love
she would wake me up in the morning
with a fresh cup of coffee
had my favorite qualities in a woman
not being able to keep her hands off me
but softly it crept in
the shadow of death
i knew that we didn’t have a lot of time left
i do the best that i can
as a peculiar man
but soon i became just another also ran
but i’m proud of the fact
that i didn’t k!ll a cat that day
when she became the one that got away

[verse 3]
now let’s reminisce on these lips that i kissed
on the beach in belize, we were both on a trip
up a coconut tree’s where i went to get a glimpse
of this chi-town beauty hanging with her older sis
enter two brothers older than me
trying to see what they could get
from these couple blondies
one pulls me aside
says yo, you got to go
all in for the win, cause i’m past my prime
but you? i think you’re ready, this is just your time
and that girl c-ssie? well she’s looking mighty fine
so i take her for a walk
away from the club
i had no game, but i had a lot of love
for what she had to say
this was time well spent
i leaned into her lips
then away she went
now eight years later
i’m writing this song
cause i don’t have her number
and her address? it’s gone
so maybe someday this thing called fate
will erase your name from the ones that got away

[chorus]
pardon me, this prophecy ain’t coming true just yet
it’s part of me
in time you’ll see
that everything will fit
right where it’s supposed to be
this prophecy ain’t coming true just yet
it’s part of me
in time you’ll see
that everything will fit
right where it’s supposed to be
this prophecy ain’t coming true just yet
it’s part of me
in time you’ll see
that everything will fit
right where it’s supposed to be
