Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer after high school when we first met
We'd make out in my Mustang to Radiohead
And on your 18th birthday, we got matching tattoos
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In another life, you would be my 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 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Someone said, you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It's hard to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
[Verse 6]
But in another life, you would be my 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 7]
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away
[Verse 8]
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
I can't replace you with a million rings, no
I shoulda told ya what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price
[Verse 9]
In another life, you would be my 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 10]
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one
The one that got away
