Taylor Swift - All Too Well



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 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 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-size bed 
your mother's telling stories about you on the tee ball team 
you tell me about your past, thinking your future was me 

and i know it's long gone 
and there's 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 to well 

and 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 

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, 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
