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]
