Lyrics
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
– Ego ambulabam per ostium apud te, aer frigidus erat
But somethin’ ’bout it felt like home somehow
– Sed somethin ” praedura palaestra sensit sicut domus quodammodo
And I left my scarf there at your sister’s house
– Et chlamydem meam ibi reliqui apud domum sororis tuae
And you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now
– Et adhuc obtinuit eam in perscriptorem tuum, etiam nunc
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
– O dulce animum tuum, et luscus oculis meis
We’re singin’ in the car, getting lost upstate
– Singulos autem, qui in curru sunt, pereunt upstate
Autumn leaves fallin’ down like pieces into place
– Autumnus folia cadunt ‘ descendit sicut frusta in locum
And I can picture it after all these days
– Et post haec omnia possum imaginari diebus
And I know it’s long gone and
– Et scio quia longus est et
That magic’s not here no more
– Et magis est [et], ut et hic non totius dicamus.
And I might be okay, but I’m not fine at all
– Bene me habeo estoy bien
Oh, oh, oh
– Oh, oh, o
‘Cause there we are again on that little town street
– ‘Causa ibi iterum in illa parva urbs platea sumus
You almost ran the red ’cause you were lookin’ over at me
– Quasi diceret: “ecce ego ad te, quia invocasti me”.
Wind in my hair, I was there
– Ventum in capillis meis, ibi eram
I remember it all too well
– Ego memini etiam illud bene
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turnin’ red
– Album photo in calculo genae tuae erant turnin ‘ rubrum
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
– Solebas esse haedum parvum cum specula in lecto gemino mediocri
And your mother’s tellin’ stories ’bout you on the tee-ball team
– Et matris tuae tellin’ fabulas ‘ praedura palaestra te in quadrigis pilae
You taught me ’bout your past, thinkin’ your future was me
– Tu me docuit ‘praedura palaestra tua praeteritum, thinkin’ futurum est mihi
And you were tossing me the car keys, “Fuck the patriarchy”
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti.
Keychain on the ground, we were always skippin’ town
– Keychain in terra, semper essemus skippin’ oppidum
And I was thinkin’ on the drive down, “Any time now
– Am ante me, vel [am] o, si occurrit. ” Aliquam nunc
He’s gonna say it’s love,” you never called it what it was
– Qui suus ‘agnus dei dicere suus’ amore, ” tu numquam dicitur quod factum est
‘Til we were dead and gone and buried
– “Et cum essemus mortui et sepulti
Check the pulse and come back swearin’ it’s the same
– Reprehendo pulsus et reversus jure columna, quae subverti non potest
After three months in the grave
– Post tres menses in sepulcro
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you
– Et tunc miratus es ubi ivit ad te sicut veni
But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
– Sed omnes sensi verecundiam meam et tenuit exanimis frame
And I know it’s long gone and
– Et scio quia longus est et
There was nothing else I could do
– Nihil aliud facere potui
And I forget about you long enough
– Et haec de te dicta sufficiant
To forget why I needed to
– Oblivisci quid mihi opus
‘Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
– ‘Causa ibi iterum media nocte sumus
We’re dancin’ ’round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
– Dancin sumus ” circum culinam in leo lucem
Down the stairs, I was there
– Descendit in similitudinem tribunalis, ego eram illic
I remember it all too well
– Ego memini etiam illud bene
And there we are again when nobody had to know
– Et iterum sumus cum nemo scire debuit
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
– Tu me sicut secretum servasti, sed te sicut iuramentum servavi
Sacred prayer and we’d swear
– Sacra oratio et quidem jure merito
To remember it all too well, yeah
– Ut memores etiam illud bene, yeah
Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
– Bene, maybe nos got perdidit in translatione, maybe ego quoque rogavi
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece ’til you tore it all up
– Sed fortasse haec res palmarius fuit ‘donec omnia scidit
Runnin’ scared, I was there
– Runnin vix, ego eram illic
I remember it all too well
– Ego memini etiam illud bene
And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
– Et vos vocatis me sicut iterum conteram me sicut promissum
So casually cruel in the name of bein’ honest
– Ita casualiter saeva in nomine bein ‘ honestus
I’m a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin’ here
– De eo qui aliquid valet haec sunt piece of paper lyin ‘ hic
‘Cause I remember it all, all, all
– ‘Causa ego memini omnes, omnes, omnes
They say all’s well that ends well, but I’m in a new hell
– Dicunt omnes bene quod bene desinit, sed sum in novo inferno
Every time you double-cross my mind
– Omne tempus duplex-transire animum meum
You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would’ve been fine
– Et dixit: si in aliquo dubitaveritis, bene est
And that made me want to die
– Si le mato matar me han
The idea you had of me, who was she?
– Et ideo quia ea, quae sunt?
A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
– De eo, qui frequenter litigat, ut non suscip [iatur] absque exanime.
Not weepin’ in a party bathroom
– Non plorat ‘ un bagno pericoloso
Some actress askin’ me what happened, you

That’s what happened, you
– Hoc illud est quod factum est, vobis
You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
– Et qui habet sermonem meum iocis auto-effacing
Sippin’ coffee like you’re on a late-night show
– Sippin ‘ capulus sicut es in sero-nocte spectaculum
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin’ you to come
– Et mirabar usque in praesentem diem et videbis me tota nocte, ‘ metella veni
And he said, “It’s supposed to be fun turning twenty-one”
– Et dixit, “suus’ supponitur esse fun conversus viginti et unus”
Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it
– Tempus non volabit, sicut ego paralyticus sum
I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still tryin’ to find it
– Velim iterum me esse veterem, sed adhuc tryin ‘ invenire
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
– Post tunicam tunicam diebus et noctibus quando me tuum fecisti
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
– Nunc res meas remittis et solam domum ambulo
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
– Sed ut custodiant me ab ipso prima sabbati vetus chlamydem
‘Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
– “Temos muita facilidade para pedir, mas não para agradecer
You can’t get rid of it
– Vos potest non adepto rid eam
‘Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
– ‘Tu quoque causa memini bene, yeah
‘Cause there we are again when I loved you so

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones
– Ex quo Fregit brooklyn tuam cutem meam et ossa
I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight
– Miles sum qui dimidium pondus suum reddit
And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
– Et geminae flammae livorem te caeruleum pingunt?
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
– Quid, quaeso, haec inter nos amoris causa maim vos quoque?
‘Cause in this city’s barren cold
