All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)
[00:00.01] •••
[00:22.78] I walked through the door with you
[00:25.79] The air was cold
[00:28.03] But somethin' 'bout it felt like home somehow
[00:32.38] And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
[00:37.54] And you've still got it in your drawer even now
[00:43.87] •••
[00:53.37] Oh, your sweet disposition, and my wide eyed gaze
[00:59.11] We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
[01:04.37] Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
[01:08.63] And I can picture it after all these days
[01:14.36] And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more
[01:19.61] And I might be ok but I'm not fine at all
[01:30.12] 'Cause there we are again on that little town street
[01:35.37] You almost ran the red
[01:36.88] 'Cause you were looking over at me
[01:39.61] Wind in my hair, I was there
[01:42.12] I remember it all too well
[01:50.11] Photo album on the counter
[01:53.36] Your cheeks were turning red
[01:55.11] You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
[02:00.67] And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee ball team
[02:06.24] You taught me 'bout your past
[02:07.90] Thinkin' your future was me
[02:10.48] And you were tossing me the car keys
[02:13.50] 'Fuck the patriarchy' keychain on the ground
[02:17.73] We were always skipping town
[02:20.98] And I was thinking on the drive down
[02:23.73] Any time now, he's gonna say it's love
[02:27.98] You never called it what it was
[02:31.24] Til we were dead and gone and buried
[02:33.98] Check the pulse and come back
[02:36.00] Swearing it's the same, after 3 months in the grave
[02:41.50] And then you wondered where it went to
[02:44.49] As I reached for you but all I felt was shame
[02:48.57] And you held my lifeless frame
[02:51.81] And I know it's long gone and
[02:55.07] There was nothing else I could do
[02:57.56] And I forget about you long enough
[03:00.06] To forget why I needed to
[03:08.16] 'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
[03:13.38] We're dancin' 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
[03:17.63] Down the stairs, I was there
[03:20.13] I remember it all too well
[03:28.71] And there we are again
[03:30.46] When nobody had to know
[03:33.98] You kept me like a secret
[03:35.71] But I kept you like an oath
[03:38.24] Sacred prayer and we'd swear
[03:40.72] To remember it all too well
[03:49.66] •••
[04:04.06] Well, maybe we got lost in translation
[04:06.97] Maybe I asked for too much
[04:09.24] But maybe this thing was a masterpiece til you tore it all up
[04:14.48] Running scared, I was there
[04:16.97] I remember it all too well
[04:24.72] And you call me up again
[04:27.47] Just to break me like a promise
[04:30.47] So casually cruel in the name of being honest
[04:35.22] I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
[04:39.31] 'Cause I remember it all, all, all
[04:45.72] They say all's well that ends well
[04:48.70] But I'm in a new hell every time
[04:53.21] You double-cross my mind
[04:56.20] You said if we had been closer in age
[04:59.59] Maybe it would have been fine
[05:03.32] And that made me want to die
[05:06.57] The idea you had of me
[05:08.57] Who was she?
[05:09.44] A never-needy, ever lovely jewel
[05:13.05] Whose shine reflects on you
[05:17.06] Not weeping in a party bathroom
[05:19.56] Some actress asking me what happened
[05:22.29] You
[05:23.55] That's what happened: You
[05:27.04] You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
[05:32.79] Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
[05:37.16] But then he watched me watch the front door
[05:39.75] All night, willing you to come
[05:42.42] And he said, "It's supposed to be fun…turning 21"
[06:01.16] Time won't fly
[06:02.54] It's like I'm paralyzed by it
[06:06.04] I'd like to be my old self again
[06:08.52] But I'm still trying to find it
[06:10.77] After plaid shirt days
[06:13.08] And nights when you made me your own
[06:16.45] Now you mail back my things
[06:18.20] And I walk home alone
[06:21.46] But you keep my old scarf
[06:23.70] From that very first week
[06:26.44] 'Cause it reminds you of innocence, and it smells like me
[06:31.29] You can't get rid of it
[06:34.04] 'Cause you remember it all too well
[06:42.10] 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
[06:47.69] Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
[06:51.79] It was rare, I was there
[06:54.29] I remember it all too well
[07:02.04] Wind in my hair, you were there
[07:04.80] You remember it all
[07:07.29] Down the stairs, you were there
[07:10.05] You remember it all
[07:12.54] It was rare, I was there
[07:15.04] I remember it all too well
[07:21.54] And I was never good at telling jokes
[07:25.38] But the punchline goes
[07:27.52] "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"
[07:33.03] From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
[07:37.86] I'm a soldier whose returning half her weight
[07:43.45] And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
[07:48.84] Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
[07:53.84] 'Cause in this city's barren cold
[07:57.61] I still remember the first fall of snow
[08:02.85] And how it glistened as it fell
[08:07.34] I remember it all too well
[08:14.70] Just between us, did the love affair maim you
[08:18.95] All too well?
[08:24.95] Just between us, do you remember it
[08:29.05] All too well?
[08:35.39] Just between us, I remember it all too well
[08:41.63] Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[08:46.62] Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[08:51.87] Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[08:56.87] It was rare, you remember it
[09:00.12] All too well
[09:01.84] Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[09:07.41] Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[09:12.40] Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[09:17.74] It was rare, you remember it
[09:20.75] All too well
[09:22.51] Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[09:27.84] Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[09:33.11] Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[09:38.10] It was rare, you remember it
[09:43.09] Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
[09:48.59] Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
[09:53.62] Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
[09:58.85] It was rare, you remember it
