I got away
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
Grab your bank blanket
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
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
I saw you down town 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 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 o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
I got away
All these money can't buy me a time machine
Nooooo
Can't replace you with a million rings
Nooooo
I should a told you what you meant to me
Woooooow
'Cause now I pay the price
In another life
In another life
You would be my girl
You would be my girl
We 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
The o-o-o-o-o-one away
O-o-o-o-o-one away
The o-o-o-o-o-one
I got away
