The One That Got Away Songtext

von Corey Gray

Summer after high school when we first met
We'd make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parent's 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
I was June and I was your Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw your downtown singin' the blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
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
Nooooo...
The one that got away
Nooo...
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
I can't replace you with a million rings, nooo
I should told you what you meant to me, whoa
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 that got away
