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
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Cause there we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
[Verse 2]
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 'bout you on the tee-ball team
You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me
And you were tossing me the car keys, "fuck the patriarchy"
Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town
And I was thinking on the drive down, any time now
He's gonna say it's love, you never called it what it was
Til we were dead and gone and buried
Check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same
After three months in the grave
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you
But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
And there we are again when nobody had to know
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
Sacred prayer and we'd swear
To remember it all too well, yeah
[Bridge]
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
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
[Verse 3]
They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell
Every time you double-cross my mind
You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine
And that made me want to die
The idea you had of me, who was she?
A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
Not weeping in a party bathroom
Some actress asking me what happened, you
That's what happened, you
You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come
And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes
I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age
From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too?
Cause in this city's barren cold
I still remember the first fall of snow
And how it glistened as it fell
I remember it all too well
[Outro]
Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?
Just between us, do you remember it all too well?
Just between us, I remember it (Just between us), all too well
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it all too well
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it
Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there
Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there
It was rare, you remember it
Prošao sam kroz vrata s tobom, zrak je bio hladan
Ali nešto što je bilo tako da je nekako osjećao kao kod kuće
I ostavio sam šal tamo u kući tvoje sestre
I još uvijek ga imaš u ladici, čak i sada
Oh, tvoja slatka dispozicija i moj širok pogled
Pjevamo u automobilu, izgubili smo se upstate
Jesen lišće padaju poput komada na mjesto
I mogu ga zamisliti nakon svih ovih dana
[Pre-Chorus]
I znam da je dugo nestalo i
Da magija više nije ovdje
I možda ću biti u redu, ali uopće nisam dobro
Oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Uzrok kad smo opet na toj maloj gradskoj ulici
Skoro ste vodio crvenu jer ste se gledali na mene
Vjetar u mojoj kosi, bio sam tamo
Sjećam se svega dobro
[Stih 2]
Foto album na pultu, obrazi su okrenuli crveno
Nekad si bio mali klinac s naočalama u krevetu s dvostrukim dijelom
I majke govoreći o vama na temu
Naučio si me
I bacili ste me ključeve za automobile, "zajebavajte patrijarhat"
Ključni lanac na tlu, uvijek smo preskakali grad
I razmišljala sam na vožnji, bilo u bilo koje vrijeme
On će reći da je to ljubav, nikad ga nisi nazvao što je to
Dok nismo bili mrtvi i otišli i pokopali
Provjerite puls i vratite se
Nakon tri mjeseca u grobu
I onda ste se pitali gdje je otišao kao što sam posegnuo za vas
Ali sve što sam se osjećao bilo je sram i držali ste moj beživotni okvir
[Pre-Chorus]
I znam da je dugo nestalo i
Nisam mogao ništa drugo
I zaboravljam ti dovoljno dugo
Zaboraviti zašto moram
[Chorus]
Uzrok kad smo opet usred noći
Plesamo 'oko kuhinje u svjetlu hladnjaka
Dolje stubama, bio sam tamo
Sjećam se svega dobro
I tamo smo opet kad nitko nije morao znati
Držao si me kao tajnu, ali sam te zadržao kao zakletvu
Sveta molitva i kunili bismo
Pamtiti sve dobro, da
[Most]
Pa, možda smo se izgubili u prijevodu
Možda sam tražio previše
Ali možda je to bilo remek-djelo
Dok to rastrgaš sve gore
Trčanje uplašeno, bio sam tamo
Sjećam se svega dobro
I opet me zovete samo da biste me slomili kao obećanje
Tako ležerno okrutno u ime biti iskren
Ja sam zgužvan komad papira koji leži ovdje
Jer sve se sjećam, sve to sve
[Stih 3]
Kažu da je sve dobro da se dobro završava, ali ja sam u novom paklu
Svaki put kad prijeđete moj um
Rekao si da smo bili bliže u dobi možda bi bilo u redu
I to me natjeralo da želim umrijeti
Ideja koju si imao od mene, tko je ona?
Nikad-potreban, uvijek-lijep dragulj čiji se sjaji odražava na vas
Ne plače u zabavnoj kupaonici
Neka glumica pita me što se dogodilo, ti
To je ono što se dogodilo, ti
Vi koji je očarao tatu s samoodvječnim šalama
Ispijajući kavu kao da ste na kasnoj emisiji
Ali onda je gledao kako gledam ulazna vrata cijelu noć, voljnu da dođeš
I rekao je: "Trebalo bi biti zabavno okretanje dvadeset i jedan"
[Chorus]
Vrijeme neće letjeti, to je kao da sam paraliziran
Volio bih biti moj stari ja opet, ali još uvijek pokušavam pronaći
Nakon kariranih dana i noći kada ste me napravili svoje
Sada poštujete moje stvari i hodam kući sam
Ali držite moj stari šal od tog prvog tjedna
Jer vas podsjeća na nevinost i miriše na mene
Ne možeš ga riješiti
Jer se sve dobro sjećaš, da
Uzrok kad smo opet kad te volim
Natrag prije nego što ste izgubili jednu pravu stvar koju ste ikada znali
[Post-chorus]
Bilo je rijetko, bio sam tamo
Sjećam se svega dobro
Vjetar u mojoj kosi, bili ste tamo
Sjećaš se svega
Dolje stubama, bili ste tamo
Sjećaš se svega
Bilo je rijetko, bio sam tamo
Sjećam se svega dobro
[Stih 4]
I nikad nisam bio dobar u pričama, ali bušilica ide
Starije ću, ali tvoji ljubavnici ostaju moje godine
Kada je tvoj Brooklyn slomio moju kožu i kosti
Ja sam vojnik koji se vraća pola njezine težine
I je li ti dvostruki plamen bio plava?
Samo između nas, je li te ljubavna afera, previše?
Uzrok u ovom gradu neplodnom hladnoći
Još se sjećam prvog pada snijega
I kako je blistalo dok je pala
Sjećam se svega dobro
[OUTRO]
Samo između nas, je li vas ljubavna afera sažela dobro?
Samo između nas, sjećaš li se dobro?
Samo između nas, sjećam se (samo između nas), sve previše dobro
Vjetar u mojoj kosi, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Dolje stubama, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Sveta molitva, bila sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Bilo je rijetko, dobro se sjećaš sve dobro
Vjetar u mojoj kosi, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Dolje stubama, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Sveta molitva, bila sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Bilo je rijetko, sjećaš se
Vjetar u mojoj kosi, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Dolje stubama, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Sveta molitva, bila sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Bilo je rijetko, sjećaš se
Vjetar u mojoj kosi, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Dolje stubama, bio sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Sveta molitva, bila sam tamo, bio sam tamo
Bilo je rijetko, sjećaš se
