You and I were on top of the world
From July 'til September the third
You and me were special
Yeah, we were special
It got colder, and the colder it got
Somethin' else made its way in our hearts
Didn't feel as special
Until we weren't special
It's been a while
Six months later I can say I ain't bitter now
But every now and again I remember how
We were dancin' on a sunny day
But when the beat dropped, nothing played
We're the ones that got away
But for a minute, we were dancin' on a sunny day
It took a while for me, but now I know
I think I'm on my way to letting go
We were young and it's okay
But for a minute, we were dancin' on a sunny day
Uh, everybody's scared of bein' alone
So we started leading lives of our own
Yeah, we hurt each other
Didn't deserve one another
It's like I had to lose it all to wake up
To get a new point of view of what's love
And I see it
And this time I mean it
We were dancin' on a sunny day
But when the beat dropped, nothing played
We're the ones that got away
But for a minute, we were dancin' on a sunny day
It took a while for me, but now I know
I think I'm on my way to letting go
We were young and it's okay
But for a minute, we were dancin' on a sunny day
Are you happy?
'Cause I'm happy
Your smile will start to fade away
Sometimes I wish I'd stop to stay
I'm sorry
But I'm not sorry
It's our story, yeah
And it was always gonna end up this way
We were dancin' on a sunny day
But when the beat dropped, nothing played
We're the ones that got away
But for a minute, we were dancin' on a sunny day
It took a while for me, but now I know
I think I'm on my way to letting go
We were young and it's okay
But for a minute, we were dancin' on a sunny day
