The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Summer after high school when
We first met
We'd make out in your Mustang
To Radiohead
And on my eighteen 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, you would be my girl
We'd 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
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach
You know that I can use somebody
You know that I can use somebody
Someone like you,Someone like you
In another life, you would be my girl
We'd 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 (Someone like you)
In another life, you would be my girl (Someone like you)
We'd keep all our promises, be us (Someone like you)
Against the world
In another life, I would make you stay (Someone like you)
So I don't have to say you were (Someone like you)
The one that got away
The one that got away
