Summer after highschool when we first met
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos, mmmm
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
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
Mmm
You were my June and 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 tattoos removed
I saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
But in another life
You would be my girl (your girl)
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay (you stay)
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
Nooo
All this money can't buy me a time machine
Oooh, I can't replace you with a million rings
Woahh
I should have told you now what you meant to me
Cuz' now I pay the price
In another life
You would be my 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
