the one that got away

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 stealyour 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 againts 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 the 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


all this money can't buy me a time machine
can't replace you with a million rings
i shoulda told you what you meant to me
Cause now i'm pay the price
