The One That Got Away Lyrics

She rolled in
My little sandy town
She spent the summer there
A couple houses down
Well it was magic in the air
When she caught my eye
We shared three short months
And one long goodbye

She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
Yeah, the one that got away

Well she kissed my lips
Down on Ocean Drive
She set my world on fire
On the fourth of July
We wrote our names in the sand
Under the star-soaked sky
But it washed away like she did
With the rising tide

She was the one that got away
The one that wrecked my heart
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away, yeah

Now, every summer that rolls around
I'm looking over my shoulder
Wishing I could see her face
Wishing I could hold her

She was the one that got away (yeah, the one that got away)
The one who wrecked my heart (yeah, she wrecked my heart)
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away, yeah

She was the one that got away (yeah, the one that got away)
Yeah, she wrecked my heart (yeah, she wrecked my heart)
I should've never let her go
I should've begged her to stay
She was the one that got away
She was the one that got away

She rolled in
My little sandy town
She spent the summer there
A couple houses down

What is the Meaning of The One That Got Away?

Ah, summer love—the fleeting, sun-soaked romance that leaves you with more sand in your shoes than sense in your brain. Jake Owen croons about a girl who breezes into his beach town, sets his heart ablaze like a Fourth of July firework, and then vanishes faster than sunscreen on a hot day. This nostalgic ballad is a bittersweet ode to the one who slipped through his fingers, leaving him haunted by "what ifs" every time the tide rolls in. It’s the quintessential tale of love lost and lessons learned—perfect for anyone who's ever had their heart wrecked by a summertime fling. #SummerLove #HeartbreakAnthem #NostalgiaFeels #WhatIf
