This song is about a relationship that ended after high school graduation. The singer reminisces about their carefree summer together, stealing liquor and climbing to the roof to talk about their future. They got matching tattoos as a symbol of their bond. Now older, the singer listens to their old music and still misses her former partner, wishing things could have been different. In another life, she would have been able to make him stay so she didn't have to say he was the one that got away.
