All Too Well

“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 Du still got it in your drawer, even now.”

Dally was absentmindedly wrapping and unwrapping your scarf around his hands, remembering everything about you. Every little detail.

“Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
We’re Singen in the car getting Lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days.”

When Du guys needed an escape, you’d take your car and just drive. Anywhere. And wherever Du ended up Du ended up. He smiles, remembering Du trying to remember all the words to the songs on the radio.

“And I know it’s long gone
And that magic’s not here no more
And I might be okay
But I’m not fine at all.”

He misses Du so much it hurts.

“‘Cause there we are again, on that little town street
Du almost ran the red ‘cause Du were looking over me
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well.”

He remembers the first time seeing Du after Du broke up with him. It was like a stab to his herz to see you, without him.

“Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
Du used to be a little kid with glasses and a twin-size bed
Your mother’s telling stories about Du on the t-ball team.”

He hated when the gang made fun of Du around him. But it made Du laugh and smile, so it was priceless.

“You tell me about your past, thinking your future was me.”

He thought Du were the one.

“And I know it’s long gone
And there’s nothing else I could do
And I forget about Du long enough
To forget why I needed to.”

He knew he’d never be with Du again, but there was this part of him that needed Du so badly.

‘Cause there we are again, in the middle of the night
We’re dancing around the küche in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all to well.”

The vivid memories of Du after a party, dancing in the küche at Buck’s place. How his world was complete.

“And maybe we got Lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece ‘til Du tore it all up
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well.”

Why did Du even breakup? He couldn’t even remember it, because it was drowned out Von missing you.

“And Du 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 too well.”

“Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed Von it
I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it
After plaid hemd, shirt days and nights when Du made me your own
Now Du mail back my things and I walk Home alone.”

A Tag feels like a week without you. He remembered Du were the only girl he had sex with that was truly meaningful. He was polite and gave Du all the things back Du left in his room.

“But Du keep my old scarf from that very first week
‘Cause it reminds Du of innocence and it smells like me
Du can’t get rid of it ‘cause Du remember it all too well, yeah.”

He keeps wrapping and unwrapping the scarf absentmindedly around his hands.

“‘Cause there we are again, when I loved Du so
Back before Du Lost the one real thing you’ve ever known
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well”

He just missed you.

“Wind in my hair, Du were there, Du remember it all
Down the stairs, Du were there, Du remember it all
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well.”
