The One That Got Away
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'd listen every day to radio head
And when it was my birthday you bought me some balloons
Used to eat your favorite ice cream and hang by the pool
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned on one day id be losing you
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
Someone said you had your heart break removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
Its 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 one
The one
The one
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine
Cant replace you with a million rings
I should have told you what you meant to me
But now I've paid 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
The one that got away
The one
The one
The one
The one that got away
The lyrics to KIDZ BOP Kids' song "The One That Got Away" is a tale of lost love and regret. It paints a picture of a couple who met during the summer before school started. Both shared common interests, including listening to Radio Head, eating ice cream, hanging by the pool, and talking about their future. They made promises to each other, with the thought that they would be "us against the world." However, fate had different plans, as they gradually drifted apart until she became his "one that got away." The lyrics show the regret that she feels in not expressing her true feelings when she had the chance. She reminisces about the good times spent with him, listens to records, and sees him around town with someone else. The lyrics suggest that the singer believes that if things had been different, they could have ended up together.
The chorus of the song reinforces the theme of regret as she imagines herself in another life where they stayed together. The main character would keep all her promises to him and never let anyone come between them. She understands that this regret is something that will always stay with her, and it's hard to move on when you feel like you've lost your soulmate. The lyrics allude to the idea that, even though they have moved on, her former partner still holds a special place in her heart. "The One That Got Away" is a charming, moving song that depicts the many emotions that come with lost love, from joy and happiness to sadness and heartbreak.

On my birthday, you bought me balloons which made me happy
Used to eat your favorite ice cream and hang by the pool
We used to eat your favorite ice cream while hanging out by the pool
Talk about our future like we had a clue
We used to talk about our future as if we had it all figured out
Never planned on one day id be losing you
We never expected that one day I would end up losing you

We would keep all the promises we made to each other

I was June and you were my johnny cash
I was June Carter and you were my Johnny Cash. We were inseparable just like them
Never one without the other we made a pact
We had a pact to never be without each other
Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on
Whenever I miss you, I listen to the records we used to listen to together
Someone said you had your heart break removed
People say that you have gotten over your heartbreak
Saw you downtown singing the blues
I saw you downtown, feeling sad and blue
Its time to face the music I'm no longer your muse
It's time to accept that I am no longer the source of your inspiration
All this money can't buy me a time machine
No amount of money can turn back time, help me fix what I lost
Cant replace you with a million rings
Nothing can fill the emptiness I feel without you, not even a million rings
I should have told you what you meant to me
I regret not telling you how much you meant to me
But now I've paid the price
I have suffered the consequences of my mistakes
The one
You were the one I loved the most
The one that got away
You were the one that I lost and will never get back
