All Too Well - Jake's Version

Hey, Taylor how are you doin'?
 It's been awhile
 I'm at my sister's house
 And I found your scarf behind the couch
 What's your address?
 I'll mail it back
 How crazy is that it's been here for ten years
 ♪
 And it's kinda got me thinking about the time we spent
 And I've been feelin' pretty bad about how it all went
 I was sort of a dick then and I'm sorry 'bout that
 It was a tough time in my career five years after Brokeback
 And I know it's all over
 And it was only three months
 And you've probably moved on
 But I guess I still think about us
 'Cause there we are again and we are lookin' so hot
 I almost ran the red 'cause I saw a parking spot
 Wind in your hair, I was there
 I remember it all too well
 And I'm sorry about my mama
 She was so over the top
 And when she showed you old pictures I was just wishin' she would stop
 'Cause my sister just got married and mom was pressuring me
 I was like "we just started dating let's slow down a little, please"
 And I was tossing you the cars keys
 'Cause I had to read a script for an audition
 I was hoping you would drive
 And I was thinking on the ride down anytime now
 I'm gonna say let's quit, I'm just not that into it
 'Til we were buried in the drama
 And, yeah, maybe you were asking for too much
 I mean jeez
 And then I wondered where it went to as I reached for you
 But all I felt was weird as I held you to my beard
 And I was looking like I did
 At the end of Donnie Darko
 Maybe that's all that love is
 Just a blockbuster movie that we borrow
 'Cause there we are again lookin' at pictures on your phone
 I knew you were just a kid and we'd be better off alone
 Down the stairs, I was there
 I remember it all too well
 I was lookin' for a good time
 You were lookin' for a song
 I thought it was just a fling but maybe I was stringing you along
 I hear you and me too
 I remember it all too well
 ♪
 Maybe we just didn't make sense
 Maybe I was hung up on Reese
 Or maybe I am just a product of the patriarchy
 To be fair, I was there
 I remember it all too well
 And then I called you up again just to tell you the truth
 But the words came out wrong and I only hurt you
 Then I knew you were gonna write a song about me
 I remember it all, all, all
 They say all's well that ends well but I'm in a new hell
 Every time, I open Spotify
 I said "If we had been closer in age maybe it would work out fine"
 And I still think that was right
 The idea you had of me, who was he?
 A needy beta washed up stupid stone
 Who could not shine alone
 Not shaking in a party bathroom
 Some actor askin' me what happened, you
 That's what happened, you
 I met your dad and tried to make him laugh
 And maybe network just a little, is that so bad?
 I did not want to miss your birthday, I knew it would be fun
 But I had to let you go, 'cause you were only twenty one
 ♪
 A decade later now and I still think about that time
 You were a teen pop queen, I was the sexiest man alive
 Like in The Day After Tomorrow, nothing really makes sense
 You're writing ten minute hit songs and the world's gonna end
 But you're just cashing in on our little affair
 That's the music business now and there are people who care
 You're a star, I'm a star
 I remember it all too well
 Cause there we are again, Obama's on TV
 You're lying in my bed reading The Hunger Games to me
 And we made the right call
 I remember it all too well
 It wasn,t right, I was there
 I remember it all
 Just three months, I was there
 I remember it all
 It was legal, I was there
 I remember it all too well
 And now I know I'm just a cliche joke and the punchline goes
 "You'll get older but my lovers stay your age"
 I'm almost forty one now and I'm much more wise
 I'm dating a model and she's twenty five
 So you were right about that but we're doin' well
 Our private life is private not something we sell
 But in the city's barren cold
 I still remember the first fall of snow
 And how it glistened as it fell
 I remember it all too well
 Just between us, the love affair maimed me all too well
 Just between us, I remember it all too well
 Just between us, I remember it all too well
 Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
 To be fair, I was there, I was there
 It was rare, I remember it
 Did my hair, I was there, I was there
 Down the stairs, I was there, I was there
 To be fair, I was there, I was there
 It was rare, I remember it
 Did my hair, I was there, I was there
 Down the stairs I was there, I was there
 To be fair, I was there, I was there
 It was rare, I remember it
