Summer after high school when we first met
We made out in your Mustang to Radio head
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
And 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
(Verse 2)
You were June and I was Johnny Cash
Never one, without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Someone said that you had your tattoo removed
They said they saw you downtown just singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm longer your muse
And in another life you would be my girl
We'd keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in other 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
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
The one that got away
And all this money cant buy me a time machine, No
Cant replace you with a million rings, no
I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa
Cause now I pay the price
Chorus
