Lyrics:

[English]

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 okay 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 lookin' 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 told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me

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, yeah

And 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

Too well

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, yeah

'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

Grammar:

  • But something about it felt like home somehow

    ➔ Modal Verb 'felt like' expressing a subjective feeling; indefinite pronoun 'something'

    ➔ 'Felt like' expresses the speaker's impression or feeling. 'Something' indicates an unspecified quality about the experience.

  • And I, left my scarf there at your sister's house

    ➔ Past simple tense; possessive 'sister's'

    ➔ 'Left' indicates a completed action in the past. 'Sister's' shows possession - the house belonging to her sister.

  • Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

    ➔ Present participle ('falling') as part of a descriptive phrase; simile ('like pieces')

    ➔ 'Falling' describes the action of the leaves. 'Like pieces' compares the falling leaves to puzzle pieces fitting together.

  • And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more

    ➔ Contraction ('it's'); negative adverb 'no more'

    ➔ 'It's' is a short form of 'it is'. 'No more' means 'not anymore' or 'not existing now'.

  • You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me

    ➔ Past simple ('ran'); contraction 'cause (because); past continuous ('were looking')

    ➔ 'Ran' is the past tense of 'run'. 'Cause' is an informal abbreviation of 'because'. 'Were looking' describes an action in progress in the past.

  • You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me

    ➔ Informal contraction 'bout (about)'; past tense 'told'; past tense 'was'.

    ➔ 'Bout' is an informal shortening of 'about'. 'Told' and 'was' are simple past tense, describing past events or states.

  • And you call me up again just to break me like a promise

    ➔ Simile ('like a promise'); infinitive of purpose ('to break me')

    ➔ 'Like a promise' compares the act of breaking the speaker to breaking a promise, highlighting its devastating nature. 'To break me' indicates the intended purpose of the phone call.

  • So casually cruel in the name of being honest

    ➔ Adverb ('casually') modifying adjective ('cruel'); gerund ('being') after preposition ('of')

    ➔ 'Casually' describes how the cruelty is performed. 'Being' functions as a noun because it follows the preposition 'of'.
