Summer after high school when we first met
We make up in your Mustang to Radiohead
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 loosing you

And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep for of 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, ooh

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Booms
It's time to face the music
I longer amused

And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep full of 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 o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away

All these money can't buy me a time machine (no-o-o-o)
Can't replace you with a million rings (no-o-o-o)
I Shoulda told you what you meant to me (wo-o-o-o)
'Cause now I pay the price

And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep for of 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 o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-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
