All Too Well (10 Minute Version)
[00:22.68] I walked through the door with you
[00:25.92] The air was cold
[00:28.17] But somethin bout it felt like home somehow
[00:32.42] And I left my scarf there at your sister’s house
[00:37.42] And you’ve still got it in your drawer even now
[00:53.42] Oh your sweet disposition, and my wide eyed gaze
[00:59.17] We’re singing in the car getting lost upstate
[01:04.17] Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
[01:08.42] And I can picture it after all these days
[01:14.42] And I know it’s long gone and that magic’s not here no more
[01:20.17] And I might be ok but I’m not fine at all…
[01:30.42] Cause there we are again on that
[01:33.67] Little town street
[01:35.17] You almost ran the red
[01:36.93] Cause you were looking over at me
[01:39.42] Wind in my hair, I was there
[01:42.17] I remember it all too well
[01:50.17] Photo album on the counter
[01:53.18] Your cheeks were turning red
[01:55.18] You used to be a little kid with glasses
[01:57.67] in a twin-sized bed
[02:00.92] And your mother’s telling stories bout you on
[02:03.42] the tee ball team
[02:06.17] You taught me bout your past
[02:07.92] Thinkin your future was me
[02:10.67] And you were tossing me the car keys
[02:13.43] ‘Fuck the patriarchy’ keychain on the ground
[02:17.67] We were always skipping town
[02:20.93] And I was thinking on the drive down
[02:23.68] Any time now, he’s gonna say it’s love
[02:27.93] You never called it what it was
[02:31.18] til we were dead and gone and buried
[02:33.92] Check the pulse and come back
[02:35.93] Swearing it’s the same, after 3 months in the grave
[02:41.67] And then you wondered where it went to
[02:44.43] As I reached for you but
[02:46.43] All I felt was shame
[02:48.42] And you held my lifeless frame
[02:52.18] And I know it’s long gone and
[02:54.92] There was nothing else I could do
[02:57.42] And I forget about you long enough
[03:00.18] To forget why I needed to…
[03:08.18] Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
[03:13.18] We’re dancin round the kitchen in the
[03:15.68] refrigerator light
[03:17.67] Down the stairs, I was there
[03:20.17] I remember it all too well…
[03:28.67] And there we are again
[03:30.43] When nobody had to know
[03:33.92] You kept me like a secret
[03:35.93] But I kept you like an oath
[03:38.18] Sacred prayer and we’d swear
[03:40.92] to remember it all too well
[04:04.17] Well maybe we got lost in translation
[04:06.93] Maybe I asked for too much
[04:09.42] But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
[04:12.42] Til you tore it all up
[04:14.43] Running scared, I was there
[04:16.92] I remember it all too well
[04:24.68] And you call me up again
[04:27.42] Just to break me like a promise
[04:30.42] So casually cruel in the name of being honest
[04:34.92] I’m a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
[04:39.42] Cause I remember it all, all, all
[04:45.68] They say all’s well that ends well
[04:48.67] But I’m in a new hell every time
[04:53.18] You double-cross my mind
[04:56.42] You said if we had been closer in age
[04:59.93] Maybe it would have been fine
[05:03.18] And that made me want to die.
[05:06.67] The idea you had of me
[05:08.43] Who was she?
[05:09.42] A never-needy, ever lovely jewel
[05:13.17] Whose shine reflects on you
[05:17.18] Not weeping in a party bathroom
[05:19.67] Some actress asking me what happened
[05:22.43] You.
[05:23.68] That’s what happened: You.
[05:27.42] You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
[05:32.68] Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
[05:37.43] But then he watched me watch the front door
[05:40.18] all night, willing you to come
[05:42.42] And he said, “it’s supposed to be fun…
[05:45.67] Turning 21”
[06:01.18] Time won’t fly
[06:02.68] It’s like I’m paralyzed by it
[06:05.93] I’d like to be my old self again
[06:08.42] But I’m still trying to find it
[06:10.92] After plaid shirt days
[06:12.92] And nights when you made me your own
[06:16.42] Now you mail back my things
[06:18.42] And I walk home alone
[06:21.43] But you keep my old scarf
[06:23.68] From that very first week
[06:26.67] Cause it reminds you of innocence, and it smells like me
[06:31.18] You can’t get rid of it
[06:34.17] Cause you remember it all too well
[06:42.17] Cause there we are again when
[06:44.43] I loved you so
[06:47.68] Back before you lost the one real thing
[06:49.92] You’ve ever known
[06:51.93] It was rare, I was there
[06:54.42] I remember it all too well
[07:02.18] Wind in my hair, you were there
[07:04.92] You remember it all
[07:07.43] Down the stairs, you were there
[07:09.92] You remember it all
[07:12.67] It was rare, I was there
[07:15.17] I remember it all too well
[07:21.93] And I was never good at telling jokes
[07:25.42] But the punchline goes:
[07:27.67] “I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age”
[07:33.18] From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
[07:37.93] I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight
[07:43.42] And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
[07:48.92] Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
[07:53.92] Cause in this city’s barren cold
[07:57.67] I still remember the first fall of snow
[08:02.92] And how it glistened as it fell
[08:07.67] I remember it all too well
[08:14.67] Just between us did the love affair maim you
[08:18.92] All too well
[08:25.18] Just between us, do you remember it
[08:29.17] All too well
[08:35.42] Just between us, I remember it all too well
[08:41.92] Wind in my hair
[08:42.67] I was there, I was there
[08:46.68] Down the stairs, I was there
[08:49.18] I was there
[08:51.67] Sacred prayer
[08:53.17] I was there, I was there
[08:56.92] It was rare, you remember it
[09:00.43] All too well
