All Too Well

Verse

Walked through the door with you, the air was cold

But something in that library felt like home, untold

I left my favorite book right at your desk

And you've still got it in your backpack, I'd confess

Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze

Talking by the bookshelves, lost inside a daze

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

Yeah, I can picture it despite the time and space

Chorus

And I know it's long gone, that magic's out the door

The school year is over, I don't walk there anymore

But are you still the star on the court, so loud and free?

With that casual wave you used to give to me

Back in study hall, you made me shine so bright

A shy seventh grader, stepping into the light

And I know it's long gone, nothing left to do

And I forget about you long enough to forget why I wanted you

Verse

'Cause there we are again, standing in the room

You're laughing with your friends, I'm hiding in my gloom

You spun the basketball, you made me feel so seen

Like the world wasn't scary, like I was on the scene

We were never mine to lose, we never held a hand

But you looked past my quiet world and seemed to understand

Now you're heading to tenth grade, the final bell has rung

And I'm walking through the high school door, so young

Bridge

Time won't fly, and I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self, but I'm still trying to find it

After study hall days and the smiles we used to share

Now you're running up the court, and I'm just standing there

You moved on to high school, a different grade and crew

And you might have forgotten how I used to look at you

But the summer is fading, the season's at the end

And I was just a quiet girl who lost a fleeting friend

Chorus

'Cause there we are again when it was bright and new

Before the final bell, before the year was through

You made me feel so free, you made me laugh so clear

I never felt so happy in all of my school years

And I know it's long gone, nothing left to do

And I forget about you long enough to forget why I wanted you

Outro

'Cause there we are again, when it was all so good

We were never dating, but you understood

You'd flirt by my desk, make the whole room shine

Just a seventh grader running out of time

Now you're a sophomore, keeping up the pace

And I'm a freshman looking for a familiar face

But you remember it...

Yeah, I remember it all too well
