Текст песни The One That Got Away (John Gorka) с переводом

I grew up beneath the trees

Not far from the refineries

Aimed at the sky like smoking guns

I learned to walk, I learned to run away

In tracing back our history

It’s a wonder how we came to be

A love driven through a dozen states

With your technique for keeping me awake

The day we met is still a blur

Though I remember just how nice you were

And what you wore in Central Park

And how you left before the darkness fell

(Now) I cry over these strings

This sentimental case of things

Though I’m better with each passing day

I guess you’ll be the one that got away

'Cause everyone has one of those

You wear them like you wear your clothes

Except they don’t come off at night They are the space you hold up to the light

And somewhere along the line

You’ll turn into a friend of mine

Who knows of my unspoken cares

Amid the aftermath of love affairs

(Still…)

Now I stand beneath these trees

Not far from the refineries

Aimed at the sky like a smoking gun

I’ll learn to walk, I’ll learn to run again
