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 awayThe one that got away

I was dreaming you were my Johnny Cash Never one, we got the other, we made a pactSometimes 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 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 staySo I don't have to say you were the one that got awayThe 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, noI 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 worldAnd 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
