the one that got away

summer after high school when we first met

we make up 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 plan that one day

I'd be losing you

and in another life i would be your girl

we'll keep all our  promises 

be us against the world

and in another life i would make  you stay

so i don't have to say

you were the one that got away

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

i'm no longer you muse

but in another life i would be your girl

we'll keep all our  promises 

be us against the world

and in another life i would make  you stay

so i don't have to say

you were the one that got away

all this money cant buy me a time machine (no)

it cant replace you with a million rings (no)

i should told you what you meant to me (woah)

cause now i paid the price

in another life i would be your girl

we'll keep all our  promises

be us against the world

and in another life i would make  you stay

so i don't have to say

you were the one that got away
