Summer after high school when
We first met
We'd 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'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
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
In another life, i would be your 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
The one that got away
The one
The one
The one
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me
A time machine, no
Can't replace you with a
Million rings, no
I should have told you what you
Meant to me, whoa
'cause now i pay the price
In another life, i would be your 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
The one that got away
The one (the one)
The one (the one)
The one (the one)
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
