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...
And I know it's long gone, and that magics not here no more. And I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all. Oh, oh, oh...
'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 mothers telling story's 'bout you on the tee-ball, you taught me 'bout your past thinking your future was me...
And you were tossing me the car keys, "Fuck The Patriarchy" keychain on the ground. We were always skipping town, and I was thinking on the drive down, anytime 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...
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, yeah...To Be Continued...
