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 plan that one day I'd be losing you..
And in another life I would be your girl
we keep all our promises, be us against the world.
And in other life, I would make you stay..
So I don't have the say you were the one that got away,
the one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one, we got 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 keep all our promises, be us against the world.
And 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 that got away..
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't you replace you with a million rings, no
I should have told you what you've meant to me, whoa
'cause now I pay the prize..
In another life, I would be your girl
we keep all our promises, be us against the world.
And in another life, I would make you stay
So don't have to say you were the one that got away,
the one that got away..
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..
