[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
You and I were on top of the world
From July to September the third
You and me were special
Yeah, we were special
It got colder and the colder it got
Something else made its way in our hearts
Didn't feel as special
Until we weren't special

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a while
Six months later, I can say I ain't bitter now
But every now and again I remember how

[Chorus]
We were dancing on a sunny day (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But when the beat dropped, nothing played (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We're the ones that got away (Ooh),
But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day
It took a while for me but now I know (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I think I'm on my way to letting go, whoa (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We were young and it's okay
But for a minute we were dancing on a sunny day, uh
[Verse 2]
Everybody's scared of being 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 (Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo)

[Chorus]
We were dancing on a sunny day (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But when the beat dropped, nothing played (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We're the ones that got away (Ooh)
But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day
It took a while for me but now I know (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I think I'm on my way to letting go, whoa (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We were young and it's okay
But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day

[Bridge]
Are you happy? 'Cause I'm happy
Your smile will start to fade away
Sometimes I wish I'd stopped to say
I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry
It's our story, yeah
And it was always gonna end up this way
[Chorus]
We were dancing on a sunny day (Ooh, ooh, ooh; Oh no)
But when the beat dropped, nothing played (Beat dropping; Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We're the ones that got away (Feeling brand new, yeah)
But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day (Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo)
It took a while for me but now I know (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I think I'm on my way to letting go, whoa (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
We were young and it's okay
But for a minute, we were dancing on a sunny day
