Sometime after joining, when we were cadets
You made a first impression, I’d never forget
You showed me love and kindness, a stranger you just met
Used to steal the captains’ 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 keep all our promises be us against the world
In another life I would choose to stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away.
I was always with you, a well-known fact
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I act like you aren’t gone
Then someone says my name and I’m pulled from the past
The time we had together, it went by too fast
It’s time to face the music, we were never made to last
But in another life I would be your girl
We 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 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 never told you what you meant to me (whoa)
And now I pay the price.
In another life I would be your girl
We 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 the one the one
The one that got 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.
