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

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'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

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'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 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

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 (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
