Summer after high school when we first metWe make out in your Mustang to RadioheadAnd on my 18th BirthdayWe got matching tattoosUsed to steal your parents' liquorAnd climb to the roofTalk about our futureLike we had a clueNever planned that one dayI'd be losing youIn another lifeI would be your girlWe'd keep all our promisesBe us against the worldIn another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got awayI was June and you were my Johnny CashNever one without the other, we made a pactSometimes when I miss youI put those records on (Whoa)Someone said you had your tattoo removedSaw you downtown singing the BluesIt's time to face the musicI'm no longer your museBut in another lifeI would be your girlWe'd keep all our promisesBe us against the worldIn 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-one [x3]The one that got away[Bridge:]All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)'Cause now I pay the priceIn another lifeI would be your girlWe'd keep all our promisesBe us against the worldIn 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-one [x3]In another lifeI would make you staySo I don't have to sayYou were the one that got awayThe one that got away
But holding to you is so hard,
I cling to what I see
CHORUS(*):
In a world where my emotions
Seem to rule my every move
They will challenge my devotion
To seek and know the truth
CHORUS:
You're piercing me
This self will bleed
You're killing all of my securities
Lord, help me see the reality
That all I'll ever need is You
Here in this haze a distant light seems to draw me near
But in the shadow of my doubt
My faith just disappears
CHORUS(*)
CHORUS(3x)
