The One That Got Away (Acoustic)
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 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
But in another life
You would be my 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
You were 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
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music
You no longer your muse
But in another life
You would be my 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
All this money can't buy me a time machine
Nooo
Can't replace you with a million things
Nooo
I should have told you what you ment to me
Ooooh
Cause now i pay the price
But in another life
You would be my 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
We make out in your 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
But in another life
You would be my 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
You were June and I was your Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music

But in another life

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
All this money can't buy me a time machine

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
