Summer after high school when we first met We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead And on your 18th birthday we got that chain 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 you would be my girl We keep all our promises, be us against the world 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
You were dreaming I was your Johnny Cash Never one without the other we made a pact Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on ohh Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown singing the blues It's time to face the music I'm longer your muse
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
All these money can't buy me a time machine, no I 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 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 that got away
