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
 [bad word] ]
In another life, you 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

[Verse 2:]
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
No one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, woah

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
 [bad word] ]
But in another life, you 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 one, the one, the one
The one that got away

[Bridge:]
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should'a told you what you meant to me, woah
'Cause now I pay the price
 [bad word] ]
In another life, you 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 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
