[Verse 1]
             
I walked throu

              
gh the door wi

       
th you, the ai

r was cold
            
But somethin' 

              
'bout it felt 

      
like home some

how
             
And I left my 

              
scarf there at

      
 your sister's

 house
            
And you've sti

              
ll got it in y

       
our drawer, ev

en now


[Interlude]
      


[Verse 2]
             
Oh, your sweet

              
 disposition a

      
nd my wide-eye

d gaze
            
We're singing 

              
in the car, ge

       
tting lost ups

tate
             
Autumn leaves 

              
falling down l

    
ike pieces int

o place
            
And I can pict

[Pre-Chorus]
      
And I know it'

s long gone an

That magic's n

And I might be

              
 okay, but I'm

    
 not fine at a

Oh,   oh,    o

[Chorus]
             
'Causе there w

              
e arе again on

      
 that little t

own street
            
You almost ran

              
 the red 'caus

           
e you were loo


kin' over at m

e
            
Wind in my hai

r, I was there
        
I remember it 

            
all too well


[Verse 3]
             
Photo album on

              
 the counter, 

     
your cheeks we

re turning red
              
You used to be

            
 a little kid 

              
with glasses i

      
n a twin-sized

 bed
             
And your mothe

              
r's telling st

              
ories 'bout yo

         
u on the tee-b


all team
            
You taught me 

              
'bout your pas

              
t, thinking yo

   
ur future was 

me
             
And you were t

ossing me the 

car keys
           
"Fuck the patr

           
iarchy" keycha

            
in on the grou

nd
              
We were always

          
 skipping town
          
And I was thin

king on the dr

ive down
        
Any time now, 

              
he's gonna say

      
 it's love
              
You never call

              
ed it what it 


was
             
'Til we were d

ead and gone a

nd buried
          
Check the puls


e and come bac

k
              
Swearing it's 

     
the same
              
After three mo

             
nths in the gr


ave
             
And then you w

ondered where 

it went to
     
As I reached f

or you
              
But all I felt

      
 was shame
              
And you held m

          
y lifeless fra


me


[Pre-Chorus]
      
And I know it'

s long gone an

d
          
There was noth


ing else I cou

ld do
         
And I forget a

bout you long 

enough
        
To forget why 

               
I needed to


[Chorus]
             
'Cause here we

              
 are again in 

    
the middle of 

the night
            
We're dancing 

              
'round the kit

              
chen in the re


frigerator lig

ht
           
Down the stair

s, I was there
           
I remember it 

         
all too well

    
And there we a

re again
       
When nobody ha

d to know
    
You kept me li

ke a secret
      
But I kept you

 like an oath
            
Sacred prayer 

and we'd swear
        
To remember it

            
 all too well,


 yeah


[Instrumental]
          


[Bridge]
              
Well maybe we 

    
got lost in tr

anslation
        
Maybe I asked 

for too much
              
But maybe this

 
 thing was a m

asterpiece
         
'Til you tore 

it all up
             
Running scared

, I was there
           
I remember it 

      
all too well
        
And you call m

e up again
         
Just to break 


me like a prom

ise
            
So casually cr

              
uel in the nam

  
e of being hon

est
             
I'm a crumpled

              
 up piece of p

       
aper lying her

e
              
'Cause I remem

            
ber it all, al

    
l, all


[Verse 4]
          
They say "All'

s well that en

ds well"
        
But I'm in a n

              
ew hell every 

  
time
           
You double-cro


ss my mind
             
You said if we

              
 had been clos

      
er in age
              
Maybe it would

           
 have been fin

e
              
And that made 

   
me want to die
     
The idea you h

ad of me, who 

was she?
        
A never-needy,

              
 ever lovely j


ewel
              
Whose shine re

          
flects on you
    
Not weeping in

 a party bathr

oom
     
Some actress a

sking me what 

happened

You
              
That's what ha

        
ppened: you
             
You, who charm

              
ed my dad with

        
 self-effacing

 jokes
            
Sipping coffee

              
 like you were

       
 on a late nig

ht show
            
But then he wa

tched me watch

 the front doo

r
           
all night, wil


ling you to co

me
              
And he said, "


it's supposed 

to be fun…

Turning 21"


[Interlude]
      


[Verse 5]
             
Time won't fly

              
, it's like I'

 
m paralyzed by

 it
            
I'd like to be

              
 my old self a

              
gain, but I'm 


still trying t

o find it
             
After plaid sh

              
irt days and n

              
ights when you

 
 made me your 

own
            
Now you mail b

              
ack my things 

      
and I walk hom

e alone
             
But you keep m

irst week
            
'Cause it remi

smells like me
              
You can't get 


rid of it
              
'Cause you rem

[Chorus]
             
'Cause there w

Back before yo

[Verse 6]
              
And I was neve

"I'll get olde

From when your
