All Too Well (From The Vault)(From The Vault|Taylor’s Version|Ten Minute Version)
I walked through the door with you
- I walked through the door with you
- The air was cold
- But somethin' 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
- And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more
- And I might be ok 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 at 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-sized bed
- And your mother's telling stories bout you on
- The tee ball team
- You taught me bout your past
- Thinkin' your future was me
- And you were tossing me the car keys
- 'F**k the patriarchy' keychain 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 3 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
- 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
- Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
- We're dancin' 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
- 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
- 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 were 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 21"
- 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
- 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
- And I was never good at telling jokes
- But the punchline 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
- 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 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
- 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
