| Summer after high school when we first met
|
| We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
|
| And on your 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 I’d be losing you
|
| And in another life you would be my girl
|
| We keep all our promises, be us against the world
|
| In other 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 dreaming I was your Johnny Cash
|
| Never one without the other we made a pact
|
| Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on ohh
|
| Someone said you had your tattoo removed
|
| Saw you downtown singing the blues
|
| It’s time to face the music I’m longer your muse
|
| But in another life 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 one the one the one
|
| The one that got away
|
| All these money can’t buy me a time machine, no I can’t replace you with a million rings, no I should’ve told you what you meant to me whoa
|
| 'Cause now I pay the price
|
| In another life 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 one the one the one the one
|
| The one that got away |
