The One That Got Away

You know it's crazy, 'cause nights like this Would start out with a little private party You sneak me in your mom's house I know I mighta spilled my drink, but Really wasn't tryin' to spill my heart out I mean it started as a conversation I was really tryin' to get my thoughts out But then we make moves and we make plans Had the whole thing mapped out See, you were gonna go to college And to pay for bills I'd figure the job out And you knew I had to say it, but them day's gone Now I moved on and you switched phones Hopefully reincarnation will bring us back to the place we belong Summer after high school when we first met We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead 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 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 I was June and you were my Johnny Cash Never one without the other we made a pact Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown singing the blues Its time to face the music I'm no longer your muse 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 o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-one The one that got away I'm falling for you like dominoes From the top of the hundredth floor Look out below Geronimo Tryin' to get behind the closed doors to your soul Why'd you have to end the show We had such a beautiful plot There was still more story to go Now look, I'm not insinuating that You're some type of fair weather player But even if the whole world falls over I wouldn't be aware of a glacier I just wanna see you wake up Doing your hair in the mirror with your makeup Then, maybe in the next lifetime we could make up 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 o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-one 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
