The One That Got Away

(The one)
(The one)
(The one that got away)

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

Grabbed a bunch of blankets and climbed to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be loosing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

And in other 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
And sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
I saw you downtown singing the blues
Time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

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
The one that got away

(The one) 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've told you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life
You would be my girl (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 (away)
The one (the one)
The one
The one that got away
