Summer after high school when we first met We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead And on my 18th Birthday We got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor And climb to the roof Talk about our future Like we had a clue Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
In another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises Be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay So I don't have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash Never one without the other we made a pact Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown singing the Blues It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse
But in another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises Be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay So I don't have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3] The one that got away
[Bridge:] All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo) Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo) I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow) 'Cause now I pay the price
In another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises Be us against the world
In another life I would make you stay So I don't have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
In another life I would make you stay So I don't have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away
