Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radio head
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 Id be losing you
And in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in other life I would make you stay
So I dont 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, whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
Its time to face the music, Im 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 dont 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 these money cant buy me a time machine, no
Cant replace you with a million rings, no
I shouldve told you what you meant to me, whoa
Cause now I pay the price
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 dont have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one, the one
And in another life I would make you stay
So I dont have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
