[Intro]
If I, I could be anyone, could I, I be your only one?
If I, I could be anything could I be the secret that you keep
Breath that you breathe your dreams while you sleep?

[Verse 1]
If you, if you could read my mind
Then you, you'd now I crossed that line
I'd make you my Valentine
I can't let you go but I know
That this ring is there to remind

[Chorus]
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's his name's one act play
I'll be your hero and you'll be the one who got away

[Verse 2]
Now I'm chasing headlights back home
And you, you're sitting there on your own
When we were sipping martinis
I started believing I wouldn't be leaving alone
When I told you a joke and you laughed
When I asked you to dance
You said there's no band, there's no radio
I got up real slow, started singing real low
When I was melting in your arms I had to let go

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If there was no tomorrow
There were no yesterdays
The stolen moments we've borrowed
We wouldn't let slip away

[Chorus]

[Outro]
So let's re-enact that scene until our dying day
I'll be the hero and you can the one
Yeah, you could be the one that got away
