Boyce Avenue - The One That Got Away lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

Summer after high school when we first met

We make out in my Mustang to Radiohead

And on your 18th 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

[Chorus]

In another life EMBER TIU MANDA

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

[Verse 2]

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

I’m no longer your muse

[Chorus]

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

The o-o-o-o-one [x3]

The one that got away

[Bridge]

All this money can’t buy me a time machine (Nooooo)

It can’t replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)

I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Woooooow)

‘Cause now I paid the price

[Chorus]

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 o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

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
