Sam Tsui - The One That Got Away Lyrics






The 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
We'd talk about our futures
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

'Cause in another life
You would be my girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
Oh, I would make you stay
So I won'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 turn those records on (Whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
I 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
And we'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

And in another life
Oh, 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 (Nooooo)
No, I can't replace you with a million rings (Ohhhhh)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Ohhhhh)
'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
Oh, 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 one, the o-o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away

    Summer after high school, when we first met
    We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead
    And on my eighteenth 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 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

    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

    It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse
    In another life, I would be your 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
