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
[Chorus:] 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
[Verse 2:] 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
[Chorus:] 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
[Bridge:] 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
[Chorus:] 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 ******** Free, free to be myself, Free to need some time Free to need some help So I'm reaching baby, out When I'm lonely in the crowd When the signs get too loud I'll be crashing on some couch And even if I never forget you baby Tonight I'm gonna let your memory baby Go, always said I know
But at least I got my friends Share a rain coat in the wind They got my back until the end If I never fall in love again Well at least I got my friends Like a light bulb in the dark Saving me from the sharks Even though I got a broken heart At least I got my friends, got my friends, got my friends Well at least I got my friends
