I walked through the door
with you the air was cold
But something 'bout 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
looking over at 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 a tee ball team
You taught me 'bout 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 around
the kitchen
in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs I was there
I remember it
all too well yeah
Well maybe we got
lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was
A masterpiece 'til you
tore it all up
Running scared
I was there
I remember it
All too well
Hey 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 yeah
'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
