LYRICS I never meant to get us in this deep I never meant for this to mean a thing Oh, I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away I got caught up by the chase And you got high on every little bit I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing, gone without a trace Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away I miss the way you wanted me When I was staying just out of your reach Begging for the slightest touch Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing, gone without a trace Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face I wish you were the one Wish you were the one that got away Got away from me Got away from me For anybody has to breathe Oh, if I could go back in time When you only held me in my mind Just a longing, gone without a trace Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face I wish you were the one I wish you were the one Oh, I wish you were the one I wish you were the one that got away So
My dance teacher played a Civil Wars song in class one time and now I'm obsessed with them, they are so good and I'm sad they brokeup because I'd love to hear more from them.
There is no doubt in my mind that someone's romantic feelings complicated their relationship, whether it was one or both of them. Either that or their spouses were no longer comfortable with their relationship. There is no way you can spend that much time with someone, pouring your heart out into songs, sharing your intimate feelings, staring into each other's eyes, and in the end, still come out saying you're like siblings. I saw this coming. I'm deeply saddened but I still love this song.
+Nicole Santana They have long been one of my favourite groups, and I'm a hard rocker from Canada. Sometimes quality outshines the rest of the dreck we're forced to consume.
+Brian Snyder I totally agree. And it's different from things I listen to. I mean, I listen different genres, but I hate country. But this song speaks to me on so many levels.
So glad they're back. Not my usual sort of music at all, but I just fell in love with their debut album. Pleased to see it probably won't be their last. Also impressed with how well they work with more instruments here - they made the transition from just a few components to a full band really well.
I heard this song one time before watching Ravenswood, I didn't really like it back then, I think it's about the many times that you listen to it, I love it now.
Not enough ratings smh a lot people stopped watching after the first episode because it was "too" scary but to me personally it was such a good show and it showed us Caleb more, now that it's cancelled it's like Caleb never went to ravenswood
Not at all; but I wish I understood what actually happened with Caleb? I guess it's implied that he's died and now with Miranda? Did I understand correctly?
Really really really hope they tour again with their new album. The concert I was planning on going to was cancelled because of their problems and I'm sooo glad they reunited. They're too incredible to break up.
OMG!!!! They are back! YAY! So in love with ther music! i can only pray they will decide to tour and bless us with live performances of their beautiful songs and amazing talent!
RIP Civil Wars. I wish you were NOT the one that got away.
Hear hear
Proof that no matter what you're feeling, somebody's made a song that perfectly describes it.
This resonates with family cuz we’re all musical and we all blend this with vocals and instruments 🤷♀️
I never realized the smoke in the background was moving! I thought it was just a picture.
Whoa! I never noticed that either lol 😄
+Bianca Joisil Glad you said that - thought my eyes were playing some serious tricks on me.
It symbolises how fixated southern Americans are on the civil war era culture

Yeah your right man
It's so sad that they broke up and I can't believe I only heard their amazing music after they are no more.
LYRICS
I never meant to get us in this deep
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Oh, I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase
And you got high on every little bit
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I miss the way you wanted me
When I was staying just out of your reach
Begging for the slightest touch
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Got away from me
Got away from me
For anybody has to breathe
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one
Oh, I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one that got away
So
I love the gray fast-growing broccoli in the background.
OMG LMAO XDD
Omg the smoke moves! I love this band, and they deserve a lot more recognition than they get.
Anyone in 2020 such a good song can’t believe it’s been seven years time flies

Ravenswood bring me here 2020 Nostalgia..
2022!
@@gavinhilbun7892 hell yeah and still one of my favorites
I never got seeing them live. They split up just before I had the chance. Still some of the best music of the last 10 years.

What song did your teacher play from them?
Rayon Miller Kingdom Come
Omg kingdom come was the first song that I listened to and then I started listening to more of their music

Why does nobody like Ravenswood. It's such a good show.

This song is an emotional and musical masterpiece
Nice! Top 10 Short-lived Bands brought me here.
I don't remember this. Hah
Never heard of the Civil Wars before watching Ravenswood. Great musicians and a great show.
Pretty little liars and ravens wood brought me here because it played on both shows but I also liked there song from the hunger games sound track
Heard this song at the cafe I work at ♡ Fell in love instantly

...My ears have heard heaven. I have waited to long for this song.
Seriously, why are they not that famous? They're freaking awesome
they are/will be but the issue is they arent together anymore due to personal reasons. its sad.
Famous enough to win four Grammy Awards. They did alright.
Such a haunting melody, beautiful lyrics...hits my core
Oh If I Could Go Back In Time When You Only Held Me In My Mind...
This line speaks to me for some reason...
Saw this on my mom's iPhone about 5 years ago. My favorite song by far
Same here
God, they were truly amazing
2022 qnd I'm still obsessed with this song
LOVE it. They are seriously the REAL deal. Love them so much!
Oh Lord I needed this so much. Please never stop making music together, I beg you.
RAVENSWOOD!!!!! i had such bad writer's block until I heard this song. I also watched Ravenswood on the same day. :)
I don't care how they broke up...x I am so happy to here their beautiful music again.!...x
This song was.. poetic on Ravenswood when they were sinking, I had to find out what song was playing and now I listen to it all the time.
So haunting..
yo you still alive?
@@AditheMNM barely. I’m studying for my anatomy exam 😞
@@madelinnmiller7002 no way a person from a comment 6 years ago replied😭
@@AditheMNM oh that was 6 years ago 😂
Words cannot describe how amazing this song, and this duet is!!
Ravens wood brought me here. Love it.
I never want this song to end.
I love this 😍😍😍
I heard this song one time before watching Ravenswood, I didn't really like it back then, I think it's about the many times that you listen to it, I love it now.
I don't normally like Country music, but I like this group a lot actually.
I dont think this is country. ...
oh, what is it?
+Epodmusic17 im not sure but I am positive it's not country.....XD
It's folk ;)
Thank you!
Thank you Ravenswood for introducing me to this beautiful song
Am I the only one who heard&liked this song BEFORE Ravenswood? Don't get me wrong its a good show, but Im just saying....
I started ravenswood again yesterday and it reminded me of this gem, I love this song!
I heard this song on #Ravenswood so I said I must download it ^_^ it's really good I love it
This song is beautiful. Just the sound itself. The lyrics are a much appreciated bonus.
Bruh are those clouds moving on or am I trippin
Ehhh.. You're tripping (they're actually moving)
XD
Omg! This is awesome! This answers all our questions about the relationship between Joy and John Paul! Who agrees?
After brought me here. Then, I saw Ravenswood brought everyone here. Now, this carry me to Ravenswood.
THANK YOU ALL
Yea ravenswood brought me here After i seen the trailer I loved the song and searched it up
I never knew i could fall in love with a song.
It pains me knowing that they broke up .
really did they? :(
+upp ddown yeah this is from the only album they released.
absolutely love this song. The love&hate of relationships.
So like I feel left out since practically everyone else on here only knows this song from Ravenswood.
Not really. Amy lee from evanescence shared this on social media shortly after it was released. That's how I got here :)
I got here cuz I like good music
Same, @James Smith, same.
Absolute musical perfection. There is literally nothing that could possibly make this song any better.
Why was ravenswood cancelled?it was a good series
Not enough ratings smh a lot people stopped watching after the first episode because it was "too" scary but to me personally it was such a good show and it showed us Caleb more, now that it's cancelled it's like Caleb never went to ravenswood
They should bring it back dude ☹️
This is one of those songs that you never want end
Anyone here in 2023? 🖤🤍
2024!
Thank you Ravenswood !!!
RAVENSWOOD
This is so beautiful !!
So glad that Amy lee brought me here, she knows what good music is :)) ♥
Just so everyone knows this is not country. Indie folk with a splash of bluegrass.
I'm so glad The Civil Wars exist.
I'm probably the only one that loved ravenswood.
Nope not the only one
Not at all; but I wish I understood what actually happened with Caleb? I guess it's implied that he's died and now with Miranda? Did I understand correctly?
Same she has opened my eyes to so many good bands
I heard this in Pizza Hut and had to Shazam it to find out what it was lol
Omg the smoke moves! I love this band, they deserve more recognition than they get.
all hail chuck norris
So haunting. This song has been played all week!
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM. dear sweet baby Jesus I love these two
Ravenswood brought me here
Amy Lee bought me here too :') so glad she shared this because I've fell in love with the group and their songs :D
Still listening in 2017. Great song, not so great memories.

Thank you iTunes Radio❤️
Welcome back, my lovelies. Music needs you.
Thank you, Lord, for answering my prayers. This awesome band does not seem to be in question any longer! Beautiful song from the best duo ever!
I LOVED THIS SONG BEFORE RAVENSWOOD! But the fact that they used this song, i was sooo Happy!

I'm glad you guys didn't break up! Thank you for this precious song! x
Really really really hope they tour again with their new album. The concert I was planning on going to was cancelled because of their problems and I'm sooo glad they reunited. They're too incredible to break up.
I'm so glad they got back together! This song is great!
Mmmmm... I want to listen more songs ! Love The Civil Wars . Thanks JD .
Was absolutly PERFECT at the end of ravenswood. Gave me CHILLS and made me cry O.O
Thank you Amy Lee for bringing me here!
I got this song from ravenswood and after seeing the commercial so much i fell in love with the song!
Amazing, so glad I got to see these guys in Liverpool last November! Also got introduced to the Lumineers thanks to these two ♥
No matter how many times I listen to this song it speaks to me every time
This is going to sound stunning on acoustic guitar.
Love the addition of drums and electric guitar. Very very tastefully done.
I've been counting down the days! Ahhhh, so in love with this song
I just love it when the drums kick in at the end!
Nothing can describe how I feel better than this song right now.
If I never watched Ravenswood I wouldn't have listened to this song....I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH !
Another amazing song to add to the many!
So glad they got back and reunited, and this track is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for the self-titled album to hit the charts.
My goodness, this album is going to be monumental. I can feel it.
Mesmerizing and hypnotic,gorgeous and mysterious.
This song is so beautiful
love that smoke in the background
This song haunts the hell out of me
This song is very addictive can't stop listening to it.
Thanks Ravenswood Promo gor introducing me to an awesome song!
