The One That Got Away - Katy Perry (lyrics) You know it\u0027s crazy, \u0027cause nights like this Would start out with a little private party You sneak me in your mom\u0027s house I know I mighta spilled my drink, but Really wasn\u0027t tryin\u0027 to spill my heart out I mean it started as a conversation I was really tryin\u0027 to get my thoughts out But then we make moves and we make plans Had the whole thing mapped out See, you were gonna go to college And to pay for bills I\u0027d figure the job out And you knew I had to say it, but them day\u0027s gone Now I moved on and you switched phones Hopefully reincarnation will bring us back to the place we belong Summer after high school when we first met We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos Used to steal your parents\u0027 liquor and climb to the roof Talk about our future like we had a clue Never planned that one day, I\u0027d be losing you In another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises Be us against the world In another life I would make you stay So I don\u0027t 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 Someone said you had your tattoo removed Saw you downtown singing the blues Its time to face the music I\u0027m no longer your muse In another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises Be us against the world In another life I would make you stay So I don\u0027t 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 I\u0027m falling for you like dominoes From the top of the hundredth floor Look out below Geronimo Tryin\u0027 to get behind the closed doors to your soul Why\u0027d you have to end the show We had such a beautiful plot There was still more story to go Now look, I\u0027m not insinuating that You\u0027re some type of fair weather player But even if the whole world falls over I wouldn\u0027t be aware of a glacier I just wanna see you wake up Doing your hair in the mirror with your makeup Then, maybe in the next lifetime we could make up In another life I would be your girl We keep all our promises Be us against the world In another life I would make you stay So I don\u0027t 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 In another life I would make you stay So I don\u0027t have to say You were the one that got away The one that got away
