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 (whoa)



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 one(X3)

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 shoulda told you what you meant to me (Whoa)

Cause now I pay the price



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 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

The one(X3)

The one that got away
