The One That Got Away

Summer after high school when we first met  
We make out in your Mustang to Radio head  
And on my 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 I would be your girl 
We keep all our promises, be us against the world  
And 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
 

I was dreaming you were my Johnny Cash  
Never one, we got the other, we made a pact  
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa  
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
 

And in another life I would be your girl  
We 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  
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  
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 I would be your girl  


We 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  
The one that got away
The one, the one, the one, the one

And 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
