You know it’s crazy, ’cause nights like thisWould start out with a little private partyYou sneak me in your mom’s houseI know I mighta spilled my drink, butReally wasn’t tryin’ to spill my heart outI mean it started as a conversationI was really tryin’ to get my thoughts outBut then we make moves and we make plansHad the whole thing mapped outSee, you were gonna go to collegeAnd to pay for bills I’d figure the job outAnd you knew I had to say it, but them day’s goneNow I moved on and you switched phonesHopefully reincarnation will bring us back to the place we belong
Summer after high school when we first metWe make out in your Mustang to RadioheadAnd on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoosUsed to steal your parents’ liquor and climb to the roofTalk about our future like we had a clueNever planned that one day, I’d be losing you
In another lifeI would be your girlWe keep all our promisesBe us against the world
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don’t have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got away
I was June and you were my Johnny CashNever one without the other we made a pactSometimes when I miss youI put those records onSomeone said you had your tattoo removedSaw you downtown singing the bluesIts time to face the musicI’m no longer your muse
In another lifeI would be your girlWe keep all our promisesBe us against the world
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don’t have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got awayThe o-o-o-o-o-oneThe o-o-o-o-o-oneThe o-o-o-o-o-oneThe one that got away
I’m falling for you like dominoesFrom the top of the hundredth floorLook out below GeronimoTryin’ to get behind the closed doors to your soulWhy’d you have to end the showWe had such a beautiful plotThere was still more story to goNow look, I’m not insinuating thatYou’re some type of fair weather playerBut even if the whole world falls overI wouldn’t be aware of a glacierI just wanna see you wake upDoing your hair in the mirror with your makeupThen, maybe in the next lifetime we could make up
In another lifeI would be your girlWe keep all our promisesBe us against the world
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don’t have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got awayThe o-o-o-o-o-oneThe o-o-o-o-o-oneThe o-o-o-o-o-one
In another lifeI would make you staySo I don’t have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got away
