Asbjørn said about this song:
“In 2017 and 2018 I had been spreading myself a little thin. I was traveling a lot, and wrote at lot of beautiful songs with a lot of beautiful people, which is something I deeply love and get a lot of energy from. The people I worked with on the business side, however...
[Verse 1]
I'm not on my A-game
These days, keep you at an arms length
I act a real bitch but you connect the dots anyway
When I hurt the most you know I put up a front
Tryna’ make you run but really something else is going on
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm damaged goods
Better knock on wood, better to forget me
Never gonna be what we hope
You see, better to forget me
[Chorus]
But you're gonna remember my name
The boy that got away
You’re gonna remember my name
You're gonna be so happy soon
Trust me, no use
But you're gonna remember my name
I'm gone, boy gone, the boy that got away
[Verse 2]
I don't get an A plus
No bluff, not a perfect boyfriend
I wanna be a soldier of love but I only save myself
When the world takes its toll
Wanna be on your team when you're not on your A-game
I hope that we'll survive that long
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm damaged goods
Better knock on wood, better to forget me
Never gonna be what we hope
You see, better to forget me
[Chorus]
But you’re gonna remember my name
The boy that got away
You’re gonna remember my name
You're gonna be so happy soon
Trust me, no use
But you’re gonna remember my name
I'm gone, boy gone, the boy that got away
[Middle 8]
Whatcha gonna do when you find someone new?
And all you can remember is my name
'Cos I'm the boy who got away
Whatcha gonna do when you find someone new?
And all you can remember is my name
’Cos I'm the boy who got away
Boy who got away, boy who got away
[Chorus]
The boy that got away
You're gonna remember my name
You're gonna be so happy soon
Trust me, no use
But you're gonna remember my name
I'm gone, boy gone, the boy that got away
Remember my name, baby
Remember my name, baby
Gone, boy gone, the boy that got away
