Summer after high school when we first metWe'd make out in your Mustang to RadioheadAnd on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoosUsed to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roofTalk about our future like we had a clueNever planned that one day I'd be losing youIn another lifeI would be your girlWe'd keep all our promisesBe us against the worldIn another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to say you wereThe one that got awayThe one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny CashNever one without the other, we made a pactSometimes when I miss you I put those records on (whoa)Someone said you had your tattoo removedSaw you downtown singing the bluesIt's time to face the music, I'm no longer your museBut in another lifeI would be your girlWe'd keep all our promisesBe us against the worldIn another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to say you wereThe one that got awayThe one that got awayThe oneThe oneThe oneThe one that got awayAll this money can't buy me a time machine, noCan't replace you with a million rings, noI should've told you what you meant to me (whoa)'Cause now I pay the priceIn another lifeI would be your girlWe'd keep all our promisesBe us against the worldIn another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to say you wereThe one that got awayThe one that got awayThe one (the one)The one (the one)The one (the one)In another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to say you wereThe one that got awayThe one that got away
