Summer of Year 7, when
We first met, we’d
Message on the daily, in
Separate beds, and
On your thirteenth birthday, I
Played guitar for you

Growing up was never easy, what
Followed was proof
Talk about our future like
We had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life, you would be my girl
We’d keep all our promises, the '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

I’ve still got that vinyl, but I
Burnt the card, 'never
Find another lover', the
Writing’s charred
Sometimes when I miss you, I
Sing of crossing paths
Woah

I’ll put all this writing and
Music to use
Hope you see me one day
Singing the blues, it’s
Time to face the music, you’ll
Always be my muse

In another life, you would be my girl
We’d keep all our promises, the '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 this money can’t buy us a time machine, no
But maybe it could fund a wedding ring, woah
I waited patient cause your soul’s a messy thing, woah
If I forgive you, will you marry me?
Will you marry me?

In another life, we’re not even friends
I saw the self respect in choosing not to trust again
But in this current life, I’ve got to 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
