Summer after high school, when we first met
We'd make out in your mustang, to Radiohead And on my eigthteenth 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 In another life, I would be your 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 I was June and you were, my Johnny Cash Never one without the other, we made a pact Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, Whoa-Oh 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 In another life, I would be your 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 The o-o-o-o-o-one The o-o-o-o-o-one The one that got away All this money can't buy me a time machine, No-Oh Can't replace you with a million rings, No-Oh-Oh I should've told you what you meant to me, Whoa-Oh-Oh 'Cause now I pay the price In another life, I would be your 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 (The one) The o-o-o-o-o-one (The one) The o-o-o-o-o-one (The one) 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 |

122 posts | Rhythm is in keeping with the times; gary glitter-esque with modern swinglessness. the production automatically gives this track high marks on rhythm. Instruments are all electronic, but they seem lazily and hastily inserted. Lyrics are are forced, but not heavy handed, Katy's voice is good here. Bridge feels cut and pasted. |

5 posts | The acoustic version of this song is pretty cool too.
I particularly love the second verse lyrics: "I was June and you were my Johnny Cash, Never one without the other, We made a pact, Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on." It just seems to touch me everytime I hear it. |

3 posts | I have heard many of the songs of Katy Perry, but I've never been so touched by one of her songs. This song says almost the story of me and my ex. I cried the first time I actually read the text. AND ! HAHA i love her as old ! xD |
