They speak of jobs and positions Who's seeing who, who's settled down They casually mention your name The power in the a word's insane How it triggers everything to come tumbling down Into the pit of my stomach Boulders and butterflies coexist That chemical reaction shared by all romantics Threatens to persist Chorus And this Unanswered question Lingers on To this later date Can i resign To never knowing If i was your one that got away The back and forth, the on and off The "don't call anymore" The leaving, the wishing i had stayed A self inflicted prison i can't escape Like if i did the memories would decay And there'd be no more hours of dreaming Bout what a life with you would have been That chemical reaction shared by all romantics Has some twisted need to exist Bridge Say you feel nothing when you see me Say that where i walk, flowers have grown Say that i rocked your world Say that i was never your girl Just give me somethin' Give me somethin' i can put in stone Chorus
