Summer after high school when we first met
    We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
    And on my 18th Birthday
    We got matching tattoos

    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

    In another life
    I would be your 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

    I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
    Never one without 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

    But in another life
    I would be your 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
    The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
    The one that got away

    [Bridge:]
    All this money can’t buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
    Can’t replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
    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’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
    The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

    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
