the one that got away (remix)
Singer:perry, katy
would start out with a little private party
you sneak me in your mom's house
i know i mighta spilled my drink
really wasn't tryin' to spill my heart out
i mean it started as a conversation
i was really tryin' to get my thoughts out
but then we make moves and we make plans
had the whole thing mapped out
you were gonna go to college
and to pay for bills i'd figure the job out
and you knew i had to say it
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'd make out in your mustang to radiohead
and on my 18th 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
we'd keep all our promises
you were the one that got away
i was june and you were my johnny cash
never one without the other
sometimes when i miss you i put those records on
someone said you had your tattoo removed
saw you downtown singing the blues
it's time to face the music
we'd keep all our promises
you were the one that got away
i'm falling for you like dominoes
from the top of the hundredth floor
tryin' to get behind the closed doors to your soul
why'd you have to end the show
we had such a beautiful plot
there was still more story to go
you're some type of fair weather player
but even if the whole world falls over
i wouldn't be aware of a glacier
i just wanna see you wake up
doing your hair in the mirror with your makeup
maybe in the next lifetime we could make up
we'd keep all our promises
you were the one that got away
you were the one that got away
