Lyrics
|
Some actress asking 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 willing 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 trying 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 telling 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
|
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 (Just between us) all too well
|
Wind in my hair, I was there, 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 (Oh)
|
Down the stairs, I was there, 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
|
