(The one,
The one,
The one that got away)
Summer after high school when we first met,
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday,
We got matching tattoos
Grabbed a bunch of blankets,
And climbed 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
And sometimes when I miss you,
I put those records on
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
I saw you downtown, singing the Blues
Time to face the music,
I'm no longer your muse
In another life,
You would be my 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
The one that got away
The one (The one)
The one (The one)
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
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 (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
The one (Away)
The one (The one)
The one
The one that got away
