Summer after high school when we first met We make up 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 plan that one day I'd be losing you And in another life I would be your girl 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 I was June and you were my 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 Its time to face the music I'm no longer your muse And in another life I would be your girl 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 o-o-o-o-o-one The one that got away All these money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo) Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo) I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow) Cause now I pay the price And in another life I would be your girl 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 o-o-o-o-o-one 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
