The One That Got Away Lyrics

[00:03.61] Summer after high school when we first met
[00:07.19] We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
[00:10.85] And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
[00:17.83] Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
[00:21.50] Talk about our future like we had a clue
[00:25.05] Never planned that one day I'd be losing you
[00:30.57] In another life
[00:34.06] I would be your girl
[00:37.53] We'd keep all our promises
[00:40.97] Be us against the world
[00:44.86] In another life
[00:48.60] I would make you stay
[00:51.86] So I don't have to say you were
[00:55.38] The one that got away
[00:59.20] The one that got away
[01:01.16]
[01:02.80] I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
[01:05.98] Never one without the other, we made a pact
[01:09.90] Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on (whoa)
[01:16.72] Someone said you had your tattoo removed
[01:20.67] Saw you downtown singing the blues
[01:24.10] It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
[01:29.52] But in another life
[01:33.10] I would be your girl
[01:36.88] We'd keep all our promises
[01:40.11] Be us against the world
[01:43.85] In another life
[01:47.48] I would make you stay
[01:50.92] So I don't have to say you were
[01:54.11] The one that got away
[01:58.12] The one that got away
[02:01.57] The one
[02:05.19] The one
[02:08.53] The one
[02:12.47] The one that got away
[02:15.81] All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
[02:22.48] Can't replace you with a million rings, no
[02:30.32] I should've told you what you meant to me (whoa)
[02:36.88] 'Cause now I pay the price
[02:41.52] In another life
[02:44.73] I would be your girl
[02:48.34] We'd keep all our promises
[02:51.66] Be us against the world
[02:55.67] In another life
[02:59.12] I would make you stay
[03:02.69] So I don't have to say you were
[03:05.76] The one that got away
[03:09.65] The one that got away
[03:13.30] The one (the one)
[03:16.74] The one (the one)
[03:20.26] The one (the one)
[03:24.29] In another life
[03:27.71] I would make you stay
[03:31.44] So I don't have to say you were
[03:34.46] The one that got away
[03:38.17] The one that got away
[03:45.03]
