Summer after high school
When we first met
We'd make out
In your Mustang
To Radiohead
And on my
Eighteenth 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
In another life
I would be your 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
I was dreaming
You were
My Johnny Cash
Never one
Without the other
We made a pact
Sometimes when
I miss you
I put those records on
Woah-oh
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
But in another life
I would be your 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 o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away
All this money
Can't buy me
A time machine
And oh oh ooh
Can't replace you
With a million rings
No
I should have told you
What you meant to me
Woah-oh-oh-oh
'cause now I pay
The price
In another life
I would be your 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 o-o-o-o-one
The one
The o-o-o-o-one
The one
The o-o-o-o-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
