All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)
[00:22.65] I walked through the door with you
[00:25.90] The air was cold
[00:28.15] But somethin bout it felt like home somehow
[00:32.40] And I left my scarf there at your sister’s house
[00:37.40] And you’ve still got it in your drawer even now
[00:53.40] Oh your sweet disposition, and my wide eyed gaze
[00:59.15] We’re singing in the car getting lost upstate
[01:04.39] Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
[01:08.40] And I can picture it after all these days
[01:14.39] And I know it’s long gone and that magic’s not here no more
[01:19.64] And I might be ok but I’m not fine at all…
[01:30.15] Cause there we are again on that
[01:32.64] Little town street
[01:35.15] You almost ran the red
[01:36.89] Cause you were looking over at me
[01:39.40] Wind in my hair, I was there
[01:42.14] I remember it all too well
[01:50.15] Photo album on the counter
[01:53.15] Your cheeks were turning red
[01:55.14] You used to be a little kid with glasses
[01:58.15] in a twin-sized bed
[02:00.90] And your mother’s telling stories bout you on
[02:03.64] the tee ball team
[02:06.15] You taught me bout your past
[02:07.90] Thinkin your future was me
[02:10.64] And you were tossing me the car keys
[02:13.39] ‘F*** the patriarchy’ keychain on the ground
[02:17.65] We were always skipping town
[02:20.89] And I was thinking on the drive down
[02:25.40] You never called it what it was
[02:27.39] Any time now, he’s gonna say it’s love
[02:31.40] til we were dead and gone and buried
[02:34.14] Check the pulse and come back
[02:35.89] Swearing it’s the same, after 3 months in the grave
[02:41.64] And then you wondered where it went to
[02:44.39] As I reached for you but
[02:46.40] All I felt was shame
[02:48.64] And you held my lifeless frame
[02:52.15] And I know it’s long gone and
[02:54.90] There was nothing else I could do
[02:57.89] And I forget about you long enough
[03:00.15] To forget why I needed to…
[03:08.15] Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
[03:13.39] We’re dancin round the kitchen in the
[03:15.65] refrigerator light
[03:17.64] Down the stairs, I was there
[03:20.14] I remember it all too well…
[03:28.89] And there we are again
[03:30.39] When nobody had to know
[03:33.90] You kept me like a secret
[03:35.89] But I kept you like an oath
[03:38.15] Sacred prayer and we’d swear
[03:40.90] to remember it all too well
[04:04.14] Well maybe we got lost in translation
[04:07.15] Maybe I asked for too much
[04:09.15] But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
[04:12.39] Til you tore it all up
[04:14.39] Running scared, I was there
[04:16.90] I remember it all too well
[04:24.64] And you call me up again
[04:27.40] Just to break me like a promise
[04:30.65] So casually cruel in the name of being honest
[04:35.14] I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
[04:39.64] Cause I remember it all, all, all
[04:45.65] They say all’s well that ends well
[04:48.64] But I’m in a new hell every time
[04:53.15] You double-cross my mind
[04:56.40] You said if we had been closer in age
[04:59.89] Maybe it would have been fine
[05:03.40] And that made me want to die.
[05:06.89] The idea you had of me
[05:08.65] Who was she?
[05:09.65] A never-needy, ever lovely jewel
[05:13.14] Whose shine reflects on you
[05:17.15] Not weeping in a party bathroom
[05:19.64] Some actress asking me what happened
[05:22.39] You.
[05:23.65] That’s what happened: You.
[05:27.40] You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
[05:32.64] Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
[05:37.39] But then he watched me watch the front door
[05:39.90] all night, willing you to come
[05:42.40] And he said, “it’s supposed to be fun…
[05:45.65] Turning 21”
[06:01.15] Time won’t fly
[06:02.90] It’s like I’m paralyzed by it
[06:06.15] I’d like to be my old self again
[06:08.65] But I’m still trying to find it
[06:10.90] After plaid shirt days
[06:13.14] And nights when you made me your own
[06:16.40] Now you mail back my things
[06:18.40] And I walk home alone
[06:21.65] But you keep my old scarf
[06:23.65] From that very first week
[06:26.64] Cause it reminds you of innocence, and it smells like me
[06:31.15] You can’t get rid of it
[06:34.14] Cause you remember it all too well
[06:42.14] Cause there we are again when
[06:44.39] I loved you so
[06:47.65] Back before you lost the one real thing
[06:50.40] You’ve ever known
[06:51.89] It was rare, I was there
[06:54.40] I remember it all too well
[07:02.40] Wind in my hair, you were there
[07:04.90] You remember it all
[07:07.39] Down the stairs, you were there
[07:10.15] You remember it all
[07:13.14] It was rare, I was there
[07:15.39] I remember it all too well
[07:21.89] And I was never good at telling jokes
[07:25.40] But the punchline goes:
[07:27.64] “I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age”
[07:33.40] From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
[07:38.15] I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight
[07:43.90] And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
[07:49.14] Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
[07:54.15] Cause in this city’s barren cold
[07:57.90] I still remember the first fall of snow
[08:03.40] And how it glistened as it fell
[08:07.65] I remember it all too well
[08:14.89] Just between us did the love affair maim you
[08:19.14] All too well
[08:25.15] Just between us, do you remember it
[08:29.39] All too well
[08:35.40] Just between us, I remember it all too well
[08:42.40] Wind in my hair
[08:43.14] I was there, I was there
[08:46.65] Down the stairs, I was there
[08:49.15] I was there
[08:51.89] Sacred prayer
[08:53.15] I was there, I was there
[08:56.90] It was rare, you remember it
[09:00.39] All too well
