i walked through the door with you
E
the air was cold
but so Mething About it felt like home somehow
and i lelt my scarf there at your sister's house
a nd you've still got it in your drawer even now
oh your sweet disposition
and my wide-eyed gaze
we're si nging in the car, getting lost uPstate
autumn Leaves falling down likE pieces into place
and i c an picture it after alL these dAys
and i know it's long gone and That magic's noT here no morE
and i mi ght be okay but i'm not fine at all...
cauSe there we are again on that
little town street
you al most ran the red cause you were
D
lookin' over at me
wind in my hair, i was there
i remember it all too wel l
photo album on the counter
your cheeks were turning red
you used to be a little kid with glassed
in a twin sized bed
and your mother's telling stories
about you on the tee ball team
you ta ught 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 forge t about you long enough to forget why i needed to...
cause there we are again in the middle of the night
we're da ncing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
down the stairs, i was there
i remember it all too wel l
well maybe we got lost in translation
maybe i asked for too much
but maybe this th ing 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 ca sually 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
E
made me your own
now you ma il back my things and i
D
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
ba ck 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 stai rs, you were there, you remember it all
it was rare, i was there, i remember it all too well
