Summer after high school when we first met

We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on your 18th birthday we got matching tattoosUsed 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 no 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 that got away

The one

The one

The one

The one that got away
