The One That Got Away

[Verse 1]

Summer after high school when we first met

We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th birthday

We got matching tattoos

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

[Chorus]

In another life, I would be your 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

[Verse 2]

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

Saw you downtown, singing the blues

It's time to face the music

I'm no longer your muse

[Chorus]

In another life, I would be your 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

[Post-Chorus]

The one

The one

The one

The one that got away

[Bridge]

All this money can't buy me a time machine, no

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

[Chorus]

In another life, I would be your 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

[Post-Chorus]

The one (the one)

The one (the one)

The one (the one)

[Outro]

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
