Cover the Light

...
 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 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 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
 Your mother's telling stories about you on the tee ball team
 You tell me about your past, thinking your future was me
 And I know it's long gone
 And there's 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 around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
 Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all to well, yeahh
 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
 Maybe 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, 'cause you remember it all
 It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
