The One That Got Away

Summer after high school when we first met

Made love in my Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th birthday, we got matching tattoos

Used to steal our parents' liquor and climb to the roof

Talked about our future like we had a clue

Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

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

You were Jude and I was Johnny Cash

Not 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

Saw you downtown, singing the blues

It's 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

In another life, I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine, oh-oh-oh

And I cannot replace you with anything, oh-oh-oh

I should've told you what you meant to me, oh-oh-oh

'Cause 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

Away

Away

Away

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
