The summer after high school when we first met
We make out in my Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
Used to steal my parents' liquor and climb to the roof
We talk about our future like we had a clue
Never plan that one day I'd be losing you

'Cause in another life you would be my girl
And we keep all our promises be us against the world
And in another life I would make you stay
So I won'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 we got the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you I turn those records on whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
I saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music I'm no longer your muse

But in another life you would be my girl
And we keep all our promises be us against the world
And in another life for I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

All these money can't buy me a time machine no
No, I can't replace you with a million rings ooh
I should've told you what you meant to me oooh
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life you would be my girl
And we keep all our promises be us against the world
And 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
