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]
