The one that got away

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 
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 

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, 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'a told you what you meant to me, woah 
'Cause now I pay the price 

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 (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
