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' 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 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) [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/katy_perry/the_one_that_got_away.html ]
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
But 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't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one(X3)
The one that got away
Bridge:
All this money can't buy me a time machine (No)
Can't replace you with a million rings (No)
I shoulda told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
Cause now I pay the price
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't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The one(X3)
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 think it means that the guy told her that they would be together forever bu tchanged his mind without telling her but showing her and she is trying to get over it by tell herslef that in the next life he is going to be mine no matter what and that she wont let him go even if she ends up dieing for him. It mainly about true love no one can replace that and i no exactly how that feels me and my boyfriend have been together since like 5th grade and we r still together after 6 1/2 years.

It means that you still love the guy you use to date. But you wont blame him that he wanted to move on. Just trying to get a fresh start and try, just try to forget about him. But in the end, he will realise that he needed you in his life and that he made a big mistake of leaving you. So you take him back

I really love this song. This sounds just like me. I am currently in a bad relationship and all i can think about is my one that got away. I think he is married now though and there is no way i would do anything to jeopardize his happiness. I will always love him but i guess its just time to move on.

It's lost youth, hopes and dreams. You grow up and feel the reality of things. Adulthood demands wears on you and you long for simpler times. You only saw the good side of life. Rain was fun, love seemed big and hot, dreams looked attainable. Then failure, disappointment, responsibility... It's a delusion to think that in another life, things would be better. The one thing that gets away with age, is the ability to see things with young eyes.

For me the one that got away is a beautiful song that reminds me of my mom. She didnt die, but she left when i was very young. I was 6 yrs old when she left becasue of families personal problems. She left and she's never came back. I now live with my dad and its like living in hell!! I mean its horrible and when someone else talks bad about their mom's i just turn around and whisper " i wish i had mine"
but in my life she is 'the one that got away'
