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
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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 told 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 4]
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"
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 6]
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 all too well
[Spoken Outro]
I love you guys so much
Jeg gik gennem døren med dig, luften var kold
Men noget om det føltes som hjemme på en eller anden måde
Og jeg forlod mit tørklæde der hjemme hos din søsters hus
Og du har stadig det i din skuffe, selv nu
[Vers 2]
Åh, din søde disposition og mit vidøjede blik
Vi synger i bilen, går tabt upstate
Efterårsblade falder ned som stykker på plads
Og jeg kan forestille mig det efter alle disse dage
[Pre-Chorus]
Og jeg ved, det er længe gået og
Den magi er ikke her mere
Og jeg er måske okay, men jeg har slet ikke godt
Åh, åh, åh
[Kor]
For der er vi igen på den lille towngade
Du kørte næsten den røde, fordi du kiggede på mig
Vind i mit hår, jeg var der
Jeg kan huske det alt for godt
[Vers 3]
Fotoalbum på tælleren, dine kinder blev røde
Du plejede at være et lille barn med briller i en dobbelt størrelse seng
Og din mor fortæller Stories 'bout dig på tee-ball-teamet
Du fortalte mig, at din fortid troede, at din fremtid var mig
Og du kastede mig bilnøglerne, "Fuck the Patriarchy"
Nøglekæde på jorden, vi sprang altid over byen
Og jeg tænkte på drevet ned, når som helst nu
Han vil sige, at det er kærlighed, du kaldte det aldrig, hvad det var
Til vi var døde og væk og begravet
Kontroller pulsen og kom tilbage med at bande det er det samme
Efter tre måneder i graven
Og så spekulerede du på, hvor det gik til, da jeg nåede til dig
Men alt hvad jeg følte var skam, og du holdt min livløse ramme
[Pre-Chorus]
Og jeg ved, det er længe gået og
Der var intet andet, jeg kunne gøre
Og jeg glemmer dig længe nok
At glemme, hvorfor jeg havde brug for det
[Kor]
For der er vi igen midt på natten
Vi danser 'rundt køkkenet i køleskabet
Ned ad trappen var jeg der
Jeg kan huske det alt for godt
Og der er vi igen, når ingen skulle vide det
Du holdt mig som en hemmelighed, men jeg holdt dig som en ed
Hellig bøn, og vi ville sværge
At huske det alt for godt, ja
[Bro]
Nå, måske gik vi tabt i oversættelsen
Måske bad jeg om for meget
Men måske var denne ting et mesterværk
Indtil du rev det hele op
Løb bange, jeg var der
Jeg kan huske det alt for godt
Og du kalder mig op igen bare for at bryde mig som et løfte
Så tilfældigt grusomt i navnet på at være ærlig
Jeg er et sammenkrøllet stykke papir, der ligger her
For jeg husker det hele, alle, alle
[Vers 4]
De siger, at alt er godt, der ender godt, men jeg er i et nyt helvede
Hver gang du dobbeltkryds mit sind
Du sagde, at hvis vi havde været tættere i alderen, ville det måske have været fint
Og det fik mig til at dø
Ideen, du havde om mig, hvem var hun?
En aldrig-nåly, stadigt let juvel, hvis glans reflekterer over dig
Ikke græder i et festbadeværelse
Nogle skuespillerinde spørger mig, hvad der skete, dig
Det er hvad der skete, dig
Du, der charmerede min far med selvudslettende vittigheder
Nipper til kaffe som du er på et show om aftenen
Men så så han mig se hoveddøren hele natten, villig til at komme
Og han sagde: "Det skulle være sjovt at vende enogtyve"
[Vers 5]
Tiden flyver ikke, det er som om jeg er lammet af det
Jeg vil gerne være mit gamle jeg igen, men jeg prøver stadig at finde det
Efter plaid skjorte dage og nætter, hvor du gjorde mig til din egen
Nu sender du mine ting tilbage, og jeg går alene hjem
Men du holder mit gamle tørklæde fra den allerførste uge
For det minder dig om uskyld, og det lugter som mig
Du kan ikke slippe af med det
Fordi du husker det alt for godt, ja
[Kor]
For der er vi igen, da jeg elskede dig så
Tilbage før du mistede den ene rigtige ting, du nogensinde har kendt
Det var sjældent, jeg var der
Jeg kan huske det alt for godt
Vind i mit hår, du var der
Du kan huske det hele
Ned ad trappen var du der
Du kan huske det hele
Det var sjældent, jeg var der
Jeg kan huske det alt for godt
[Vers 6]
Og jeg var aldrig god til at fortælle vittigheder, men stanselinjen går
Jeg bliver ældre, men dine elskere forbliver min alder
Fra da din Brooklyn brød min hud og knogler
Jeg er en soldat, der vender tilbage til halvdelen af sin vægt
Og malede Twin Flame blå mærker dig blå?
Lige mellem os, gjorde kærlighedsaffæren også dig?
Årsag i denne bys golde kulde
Jeg kan stadig huske det første fald af sne
Og hvordan det glintede, da det faldt
Jeg kan huske det alt for godt
[Outro]
Lige mellem os, gik kærlighedsaffæren dig alt for godt?
Bare mellem os, kan du huske det alt for godt?
Bare mellem os husker jeg det (bare mellem os), alt for godt
Vind i mit hår, jeg var der, jeg var der
Ned ad trappen var jeg der, jeg var der
Hellig bøn, jeg var der, jeg var der
Det var sjældent, du husker det alt for godt
Vind i mit hår, jeg var der, jeg var der
Ned ad trappen var jeg der, jeg var der
Hellig bøn, jeg var der, jeg var der
Det var sjældent, du husker det
Vind i mit hår, jeg var der, jeg var der
Ned ad trappen var jeg der, jeg var der
Hellig bøn, jeg var der, jeg var der
Det var sjældent, du husker det
Vind i mit hår, jeg var der, jeg var der
Ned ad trappen var jeg der, jeg var der
Hellig bøn, jeg var der, jeg var der
Det var sjældent, du husker det alt for godt
[Talt outro]
Jeg elsker jer så meget
