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 gonna spill my drink, but
i wasn’t tryin’ to spill my heart out
it started as a conversation
i was really tryin’ to get my toss 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 that 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'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
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
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
But in another life
I would be your 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
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
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 ou 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'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
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
