Summer after
high school
when we first met
We make out in your
mustang to radiohead
And on your
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 you
would be my girl
We keep
all our promises
be us against the world
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
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
Someone said you
had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown
singing the blues
It's time to face
the music
I'm longer your muse
But in another life
you would be my girl
We 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
The one that got away
All these money
can't buy me a time
machine no
I can't replace you
with a million rings no
I should've told you
what you meant to me
'Cause now
I pay the price
In another life you
would be my girl
We 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
The one that got away
The one that got away
