Barton Hollow/)+ /)/ //

Listening The Civil Wars now feels like a time capsule of my teenage years

I love this band so much… met jpw and he’s also the nicest person ever, both so talented

💔 chills. such a powerful display of bitter emotion.

2023 here

10 years old my mom was obsessed with this song

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

2013 I have picked up this song with a broken heart and severe anxiety after my fiance left me to die. I have packed my bags and moved to a different country and started a new life. Now I look back at this and I feel so great.

Painful. Ugh i feel for them

You know, I think they're singing about themselves. I think wished they could have said this to each other. It'd be hard to rise to stardom with someone whom the polarity is palpable. And would be a bummer if you each had families.

It still hurts..and will always hurt.

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

Interesting - did life imitate art….or did art imitate life? Either way….seems it for them

I loveeeee this so much. Art.

Me in 2023 this slap's

Great job

Randomly this popped into my head. I remember when it was brand new. A decade later here I am. 😮

8/26/23 Still makes me feellll 🖤

2023 baby.

Most couples have a love song. I have this. . .

This popped in my head I forgot how good it is ❤

Su quimica era tan fuerte, se veía en el escenario, en sus letras, eran un excelente dúo, la tensión se notó bastante....hasta no dudo que la razón por la que se separaron fue por que llegaron a tener "sentimientos" mutuos..

This generations Stevie and Lindsay

Of Fleetwood Mac, of course.

Still loving it in2023

we always wish the ones who touched us and made us love them got away. What we don't know won't hurt us...

Still vibing to this in 2023

I love seeing people sing with passion. With intensity. It's stunning to witness.

2023 y contando... The civil wars , temazos que me siguen estremeciendo

Bondo💔

2023 and I love you guys even more. So miss your soul bearing music!

Still mourning in 2023.

Joy said JP hasn’t spoken to her since 2012. And that was that. Whatever happened, happened. But mercy, that music will live forever…

The Civil Wars walked so Daisy Jones and The Six could run

2023 and still gives me chills

Thou Shalt Not covet thy Co-Singers Ass. It's in the Bible, apparently,

You know when you have to pretend you hate someone to be able to move on and get over them? This is it.

Now she is divorced and remarried to someone else. No word of this on media but it is on her Instagram.

Imagine breaking up and being forced to make a music video to sell tracks.

Short lived memory😢 their time was too short ❤ musically

I still love this song

Am i the only one who loved Ravenswood and the vibe that show gave ? So much potential wasted!

For every woman that's ever been there...

2022 still love this song!!

I love this song !!!!

Here in 2022. Still miss them together.

I was there at their last concert in 2012 at the Roundhouse in London. It was a very awkward concert.

This is an interesting take on relationships. Sometimes the longing and desire for someone is greater (and better) than actually getting that person you want so badly. Once you have them in your world, the magic of your dream is over.

2023 still listening still wishing they were together

yes 2022
