Summer after high school
When we first met
We make up in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got that chain 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 loosing you
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep for 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 dreaming you were my Johnny Cash
Never one we got 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 boom"
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer amused
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep full 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... (bis x3)
The one that got away
All these money
Can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should've told you what you meant to me
Cause now I pay the price
In another life
I would be your girl
We keep for 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... (bis x3)
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
