英文原唱
Summer after high school when we first met
We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos²
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

And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
and 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 pact³
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (whoa)
Someone said you had your tattoo¹ removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues⁴
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse⁵
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
And 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
But in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world
and 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)
and 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

中文翻译
还记我们初次邂逅的夏天，放学后的高中课堂
在你的车里听着Radiohead彼此缠绵
在我十八岁的生日那天
我们一起纹上了情侣纹身
你偷拿家里的酒
爬上屋顶一起讨论我们的未来
仿佛一切都会实现
却从未想过我会失去你的那天
但是在另一种平行的生活
我会做你的女孩
就算与全世界为敌也不会放弃彼此的誓言
在另一种平行的生活
我会努力让你留在我的身边
我不想说你是我最爱的人，到最后却离开了我的身边
曾经，我是你的JUNE，你是我的Johnny Cash
我们从来没放弃过我们许下的每一个誓言
而如今当我想你了，我就一遍遍听着我们曾经听过的唱片
朋友说看到你在市区唱着你爱的蓝调，你也洗掉了你的纹身
而我也是时候面对现实，就像歌里唱的，我不再是你的muse了
但是在另一种平行的生活
我还会是你的女孩
就算与全世界为敌也不会放弃彼此的誓言
在另一种平行的生活
我会努力让你留在我的身边
我不想说你是我最爱的人，到最后却离开了我的身边
再多的钱也买不到一台时光机
再贵的戒指也取代不了你
你对我有多重要我却一直藏在心里
而现在我付出了代价也失去了你。
但是在另一种平行的生活
我还会是你的女孩
就算与全世界为敌也不会放弃彼此的誓言
在另一种平行的生活
我会努力让你留在我的身边
我不想说你是我最爱的人，到最后却离开了我的身边
