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
We'd talk about our future
like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be loosing you
And in another life,
I would be your girl
We'd keep for 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
Sometimes when I miss you,
I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
I saw you downtown singing the blues
Its time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
And in another life
You would be my girl
We'd keep full 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 (X3)
that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine (Noo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Noo)
Shoulda told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
Cause now I pay the price
And in another life,
I would be your girl (You would be my girl)
We'd keep for 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 (away)
The one
The one
The one that got away
