I walked through the door with you, the air was coldBut somethin’ ’bout it felt like home somehowAnd I left my scarf there at your sister’s houseAnd you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gazeWe’re singin’ in the car, getting lost upstateAutumn leaves fallin’ down like pieces into placeAnd I can picture it after all these days
And I know it’s long gone andThat magic’s not here no moreAnd I might be okay, but I’m not fine at allOh, oh, oh
‘Causе there we arе again on that little town streetYou almost ran the red ’cause you were lookin’ over at meWind in my hair, I was thereI remember it all too well
Photo album on the counterYour cheeks were turnin’ redYou used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bedAnd your mother’s tellin’ stories ’bout you on the tee-ball teamYou taught me ’bout your past thinkin’ your future was me
And you were tossing me the car keysFuck The Patriarchy keychain on the groundWe were always skippin’ townAnd I was thinkin’ on the drive down: Any time nowHe’s gonna say it’s loveYou never called it what it was
‘Til we were dead and gone and buriedCheck the pulse and come back swearing, it’s the sameAfter three months in the graveAnd then you wondered where it went to as I reached for youBut all I felt was shameAnd you held my lifeless frame
And I know it’s long gone andThere was nothing else I could doAnd I forget about you long enoughTo forget why I needed to
‘Cause there we are again in the middle of the nightWe’re dancin’ ’round the kitchen in the refrigerator lightDown the stairs, I was thereI remember it all too well
And there we are again when nobody had to knowYou kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oathSacred prayer and we’d swearTo remember it all too well, yeah
Well, maybe we got lost in translationMaybe I asked for too muchBut maybe this thing was a masterpiece ’til you tore it all upRunnin’ scared, I was thereI remember it all too well
And you call me up again just to break me like a promiseSo casually cruel in the name of bein’ honestI’m a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin’ here’Cause I remember it all, all, all
They say all’s well that ends wellBut I’m in a new hell every timeYou double-cross my mindYou said if we had been closer in ageMaybe it would’ve been fineAnd that made me want to die
The idea you had of me, who was she?A never-needy, ever-lovely jewelWhose shine reflects on youNot weepin’ in a party bathroomSome actress askin’ me what happened: YouThat’s what happened: You
You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokesSippin’ coffee like you’re on a late-night showBut then he watched me watch the front door all nightWillin’ you to comeAnd he said: It’s supposed to be funTurning 21
Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by itI’d like to be my old self againBut I’m still tryin’ to find itAfter plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your ownNow 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 meYou can’t get rid of it’Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
‘Cause there we are again when I loved you soBack before you lost the one real thing you’ve ever knownIt was rare, I was thereI remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, you were thereYou remember it allDown the stairs, you were thereYou remember it allIt was rare, I was thereI remember it all too well
And I was never good at tellin’ jokes, but the punch line goesI’ll get older, but your lovers stay my ageFrom when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bonesI’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 coldI still remember the first fall of snowAnd how it glistened as it fellI 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 (just between us)m 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 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)
