All Too Well

Taylor Swift

I walked through the door with you

The air was cold

But something about it felt like home somehow

And I left my scarf there at your sister's house

And you've still got it in your drawer even now

Oh your sweet disposition

And my wide-eyed gaze

We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I can picture it after all these days

And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more

And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all...

Cause there we are again on that

Little town street

You almost ran the red cause you were lookin' over me

Wind in my hair, I was there

I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter

Your cheeks were turning red

You used to be a little kid with glasses

In a twin sized bed

And your mother's telling stories

About you on the tee ball team

You taught me about your past

Thinking your future was me

And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do

And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to

Cause there we are again in the middle of the night

We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs, I was there

I remember it all too well

Well maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe I asked for too much

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece

Till you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there

I remember it all too well

And you call me up again

Just to break me like a promise

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here

Cause I remember it all, all, all... too well

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

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
