The One That Got Away

Summer after high school
When we first met
We'd make out in my mustang to radiohead
And on your eighteen birthday
We got matching tattoos

We 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've been 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 time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

In another life, you would be my girl
We'd keep all the 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
The one
The one
The one that got away

All this money can't buy me
A time machine, no
I can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life, you would be my girl
We'd keep all the 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
The one
The one
The one that got away

The one
The one
The one
The one that got away
