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
Talked about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
In another life, You would be my 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
You were June and I was your 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
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
In another life, You would be my 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 That Got Away
All this money can't buy me a time machine
Can't replace you with a million rings
I should have told you what you meant to me
Cause now I pay the price
In another life, You would be my 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 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
