I Walked Through The Door With You
The Air Was Cold
But Something About 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
About 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

Till 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 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

Well Maybe We Got Lost In
Translation
Maybe I Asked For Too Much
But Maybe This Thing 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 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 Paralysed 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’re 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
All Too Well…
