" All Too Well "

 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*** 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
