Taylor Swift – All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) (Lyric Video)
The song will repeat
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 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
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
About you on the tee ball team
You taught me about 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
Till 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
as a current 16 year old, i listened to Taylor Swift’s music throughout my childhood dreaming of a teenage romance. and now i had one and lost it and this album is so much more meaningful than it would’ve been years ago
I think we can all agree that she’s not a songwriter, she’s a story writer.
I won’t say goodbye to this 5 minutes version, even if I think the complete story’s so much better this version gave me comfort when I needed it years ago and I’ll forever be grateful for that
She will always remain a legend because of her music and personality.
“So casually cruel in the name of being honest” Totally relatable. To many of us young women have been here with men, especially older men who promise us forever but discard us once the fantasy is over.
While the first version was like a girl just letting out her feelings, her anger, her sadness and shattered self, this version feels like a lady reminiscing a sad, painful but beautiful love she once had. Just beautiful 😭❤
Confession: This is my first time listening to this song. A fresh perspective on her thoughts from that moment. It was like I was the one who was brought back to my heartbreak.
Loved this Taylor’s version. While the lyrics is still telling a sad story, the way she sang it and the boost in music make it sound like remembering everything all too well but without the pain anymore.
