The One That Got Away

"The One That Got Away"

(Originally by Katy Perry)

Summer after high school when we first met

We'd make out in my Mustang to Radiohead

And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos

Used to steal my 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

You would be my 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

You was June and I was your Johnny Cash

Never one without the other, we made a pact

Sometimes when I miss you I turn 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

You would be my 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

All this money can't buy me a time machine, no

No, can't replace you with a million rings, oh

I should've told you what you meant to me, oh

'Cause now I pay the price

In another life

You would be my 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 one, the one

The one, the one

The one that got away
