Summer after high school when we first met

We'd make out in my Mustang to Radiohead

And on your 18th Birthday

We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parent's 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

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

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 hard 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 (X3)

The one that got away

All these money can't buy me a time machine (No o o o)

I can't replace you with a million rings (No o o o)

I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoooah)

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 (X3)

The one that got away

The one (X3)

The one that got away
