Lyrics The One That Got Away - Jason Chen

Summer after high school when we first met
Made out in your Mustang to Radio head
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 thought that one day I'd be losing you

'Cause in another life you would be my girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In other 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 dreaming I was 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
I saw you downtown playing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm 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 one, the one, the one
The one that got away

All these money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa
And now I pay the price

'Cause 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
