Answer
|
|
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
|
|
But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow
|
|
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
|
|
And you've still got it in your drawer, even now
|
|
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
|
|
We're singin' in the car, getting lost upstate
|
|
Autumn leaves fallin' down like pieces into place
|
|
And I can picture it after all these days
|
|
And I know it's long gone and
|
|
That magic's not here no more
|
|
And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
|
|
Oh, oh, oh
|
|
'Causе there we arе again on that little town street
|
|
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me
|
|
Wind in my hair, I was there
|
|
I remember it all too well
|
|
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turnin' red
|
|
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
|
|
And your mother's tellin' stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team
|
|
You taught me 'bout your past, thinkin' your future was me
|
|
And you were tossing me the car keys, "Fuck the patriarchy"
|
|
Keychain on the ground, we were always skippin' town
|
|
And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now
|
|
He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was
|
|
'Til we were dead and gone and buried
|
|
Check the pulse and come back swearin' it's the same
|
|
After three months in the grave
|
|
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you
|
|
But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
|
|
And I know it's long gone and
|
|
There was nothing else I could do
|
|
And I forget about you long enough
|
|
To forget why I needed to
|
|
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
|
|
We're dancin' 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
|
|
Down the stairs, I was there
|
|
I remember it all too well
|
|
And there we are again when nobody had to know
|
|
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
|
|
Sacred prayer and we'd swear
|
|
To remember it all too well, yeah
|
|
Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
|
|
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
|
|
Runnin' scared, I was there
|
|
I remember it all too well
|
|
And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
|
|
So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest
|
|
I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here
|
|
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
|
|
They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell
|
|
Every time you double-cross my mind
|
|
You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine
|
|
And that made me want to die
|
|
The idea you had of me, who was she?
|
|
A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
|
|
Not weepin' in a party bathroom
|
|
Some actress askin' me what happened, you
|
|
That's what happened, you
|
|
You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
|
|
Sippin' coffee like you're on a late-night show
|
|
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin' you to come
|
|
And he said, it's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one
|
|
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
|
|
I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it
|
|
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
|
|
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
|
|
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
|
|
'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
|
|
You can't get rid of it
|
|
'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
|
|
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
|
|
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
|
|
It was rare, I was there
|
|
I remember it all too well
|
|
Wind in my hair, you were there
|
|
You remember it all
|
|
Down the stairs, you were there
|
|
You remember it all
|
|
It was rare, I was there
|
|
I remember it all too well
|
|
And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes
|
|
I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age
|
|
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
|
|
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
|
|
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue
|
|
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too
|
|
'Cause in this city's barren cold
|
|
I still remember the first fall of snow
|
|
And how it glistened as it fell
|
|
I remember it all too well
|
|
Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well
|
|
Just between us, do you remember it all too well
|
|
Just between us, I remember it all too well
|
|
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
|
|
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|
|
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
|
|
It was rare, you remember it all too well
|
|
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
|
|
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|
|
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
|
|
It was rare, you remember it
|
|
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
|
|
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|
|
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
|
|
It was rare, you remember it
|
|
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
|
|
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
|
|
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
|
|
It was rare, you remember it
|
