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 my 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

Its time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse


And in another life
I would be my 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 my 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
