The One That Got Away
Summer after high school when we first metWe make out in your Mustang to RadioheadAnd on my 18th BirthdayWe got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquorAnd climb to the roofTalk about our futureLike we had a clueNever planned that one dayI'd be losing you
In another lifeI would be your girlWe keep all our promisesBe us against the world
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny CashNever one without the other we made a pactSometimes when I miss youI put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removedSaw you downtown singing the BluesIt's time to face the musicI'm no longer your muse
But in another lifeI would be your girlWe keep all our promisesBe us against the world
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got awayThe o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]The one that got away
[Bridge:]All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow)'Cause now I pay the price
In another lifeI would be your girlWe keep all our promisesBe us against the world
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got awayThe o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got away
