Verse 1) I walked into your apartment with the coffee stains Talking about nothing, dodging weekend rains You wore that worn-out sweater with the fraying thread And laughed at every stupid little thing I said We drove out to the country just to watch the leaves turn brown Back before the distance started wearing us down You told me about your childhood in a quiet town While I just fell in love without a safety sound. (Verse 2) And there’s a picture on my phone I can't bring myself to delete From that Sunday morning walking down a windy street You wrapped your coat around me when the chill set in Like you were keeping every piece of me safe from sin We were dancing in the kitchen to a song we didn't know Spinning round and round while the winter started to grow And I kept your old paperback on my nightstand shelf A piece of you I left to keep beside myself. (Chorus) And I remember it all too well, the way the sunlight hit the floor The way you used to look back when you loved me more You left a silver bracelet on my dresser top And a million little promises that had to stop Maybe we got lost inside the autumn air Maybe I was the only one who really cared 'Cause the leaves fell down, and the story broke its spell And I remember it all, all, all too well. (Verse 3) You called me up last Tuesday just to clear your head Asking how I've been since everything we said Your voice sounded distant, like a stranger on the line Trying to pretend that we were doing just fine You said you still have the letters that I wrote back then Like you're tempted to unfold them and start over again But you don't talk about the ending, and neither do I We just let the memory quietly die. (Chorus) And I remember it all too well, the way the sunlight hit the floor The way you used to look back when you loved me more You left a silver bracelet on my dresser top And a million little promises that had to stop Maybe we got lost inside the autumn air Maybe I was the only one who really cared 'Cause the leaves fell down, and the story broke its spell And I remember it all, all, all too well. (Bridge) And time is supposed to heal it, that's what everybody says When you're pacing round the kitchen and you're stuck inside your head They tell you you'll forget, they tell you you'll move on But they don't know the feeling when the magic's truly gone! You called my integrity, you blamed it on the stress Leaving me to carry all the quiet emptiness I was a masterpiece you tore into a looking glass Now I'm just a ghost of what we used to pass! You kept my old memories like a trophy on the wall While I was down here, losing it all! (Chorus) And I remember it all too well, the way the sunlight hit the floor The way you used to look back when you loved me more You left a silver bracelet on my dresser top And a million little promises that had to stop Maybe we got lost inside the autumn air Maybe I was the only one who really cared 'Cause the leaves fell down, and the story broke its spell And I remember it all, all, all too well. (Outro) Just between us, did the memory ever call you home? Just between us, did you ever feel alone? I remember it all... The sweater, the car, the cold. I remember it all too well.
