Hannah Grae
if All Too Well was written from the other perspective
[Verse 1]
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
My palms were sweating, I didn’t know how this would go
Your scarf matched your lips, they were red like fire
And there was something about your eyes that spelt out desire
[Verse 2]
Oh, your wild intuition sees my buried rage
We were singing in the car, getting lost upstate
Autumn falling down like it substitutes the rain
And I can picture it after all these days
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it’s long gone
And I pretend like I don’t know you no more
And I might seem okay, but I’m not fine at all
[Chorus]
‘Causе there you are again in that littlе town street
And I can’t sleep at night ‘cause you’re still blaming me
It’s not fair, I was there
I remember it all too well
[Verse 3]
Wine glass on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
I invited you to dinner, but you never liked my friends
They were asking you questions, but you turned to me
As if I can read your mind
What kind of man do you want me to be?
[Pre-Chorus]
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 wanted to
[Chorus]
‘Cause there we are again in the middle of night
And we’re dancing ‘round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Don’t you care, I was there
I remember it all too well
[Bridge]
Maybe I got lost in translation
Maybe you needed too much
But maybe you were just a kid with a high school crush
Running scared, I was there
I remember it all too well
And you call up again just to make me a promise
That I’m in love, but if I’m being honest
I’m a crumpled piece of paper lyin’ here
‘Cause I remember it all, all, all too well
[Verse 4]
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 tryna hide it
How am I supposed to move on when you are there?
And your scarf’s in my drawer and I pretend not to care
Yeah, I kept it from that very first week
‘Cause it reminds me of simpleness and it smells like a dream
I can’t get rid of it, ‘cause I remember it all too well
[Chorus]
Yeah, ‘cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before I lost the one real thing I’ve ever known
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well
Wind in your hair, I was there, I remember it
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
I was scared and unfair, I remember it all too well
