Summer after highschool when we first met

We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos, mmmm

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

And in another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

Mmm

You were my 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 tattoos 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 (your girl)

We'd keep all our promises

Be us against the world

In another life

I would make you stay (you stay)

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

Nooo

All this money can't buy me a time machine

Oooh, I can't replace you with a million rings

Woahh

I should have told you now what you meant to me

Cuz' now I pay the price

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
