I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
– Ech sinn mat iech duerch D ‘Dier gaang, D’ Loft war kal
But somethin’ ’bout it felt like home somehow
– Awer iergendwéi huet et iergendwéi wéi Doheem gefillt
And I left my scarf there at your sister’s house
– An ech hunn mäi Schal do am Haus vun ärer Schwëster hannerlooss
And you’ve still got it in your drawer, even now
– An dir hutt et nach ëmmer an ärem Tirang, och elo
Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
– Oh, är séiss Dispositioun a mäi Wäit ofgerappte Bléck
We’re singin’ in the car, getting lost upstate
– Mir sangen Am Auto a verléieren Am Réckland
Autumn leaves fallin’ down like pieces into place
– Hierschtblieder falen op Hir Plaz wéi Stécker
And I can picture it after all these days
– An ech ka mer et no all deenen Deeg virstellen
And I know it’s long gone and
– An ech weess datt et laang eriwwer ass an
That magic’s not here no more
– Dës Magie ass net méi hei
And I might be okay, but I’m not fine at all
– An ech si vläicht gutt, awer ech sinn guer net gutt
Oh, oh, oh
– Oh, oh, oh
‘Cause there we are again on that little town street
– Well do si mir erëm an dëser klenger Stadstrooss
You almost ran the red ’cause you were lookin’ over at me
– Dir hätt bal rout lafen well dir op mech gekuckt hutt
Wind in my hair, I was there
– Wand a mengen Hoer, ech war do
I remember it all too well
– Ech erënnere mech just ze gutt
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turnin’ red
– Fotoalbum um Comptoir, är Wangen goufen rout
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed
– Dir waart mol e klengt Kand Mat Brëller an Engem Duebelbett
And your mother’s tellin’ stories ’bout you on the tee-ball team
– An är Mamm erzielt Geschichten iwwer iech am Téi Ball Team
You taught me ’bout your past, thinkin’ your future was me
– Dir hutt mech iwwer är Vergaangenheet geléiert a geduecht datt är Zukunft ech wier
And you were tossing me the car keys, “Fuck the patriarchy”
– An du hues Mir D ‘ Autoschlëssel geheit, “Féck Dat Patriarchat “
Keychain on the ground, we were always skippin’ town
– Keychain Um Buedem, mir hunn ëmmer D ‘ Stad iwwersprongen
And I was thinkin’ on the drive down, “Any time now
– “Neen!” wier Do ganz onhéiflech.
He’s gonna say it’s love,” you never called it what it was
– Hie wäert soen Et Ass Léift.”Dir hutt et ni genannt wéi et war.”
‘Til we were dead and gone and buried
– Bis mir dout a fort waren a begruewen
Check the pulse and come back swearin’ it’s the same
– Kontrolléiert De Puls a kommt zréck, schwieren et ass datselwecht
After three months in the grave
– No dräi Méint Am Graf
And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you
– An dunn hues du dech gefrot, wou et higaang ass, wéi ech dech erreecht hunn
But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
– Awer alles wat ech gefillt hunn War Schimmt an dir hutt mäi liewenslose Kierper gehalen
And I know it’s long gone and
– An ech weess datt et laang eriwwer ass an
There was nothing else I could do
– Et war näischt anescht wat ech konnt maachen
And I forget about you long enough
– An ech vergiessen dech laang genuch
To forget why I needed to
– Ze vergiessen firwat ech hu missen
‘Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
– Well do si mir erëm an Der Mëtt Vun Der Nuecht
We’re dancin’ ’round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
– Mir danzen duerch D ‘ Kichen am Frigo Liicht
Down the stairs, I was there
– D ‘ Trap erof, ech war do
I remember it all too well
– Ech erënnere mech just ze gutt
And there we are again when nobody had to know
– An do si mir erëm, wa kee muss wëssen
You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath
– Dir hutt mech geheim gehalen, awer ech hunn dech wéi En Eed gehalen
Sacred prayer and we’d swear
– Hellege Gebied a mir géifen schwieren
To remember it all too well, yeah
– Just ze gutt ze erënneren, jo
Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
– Gutt, vläicht hu mir eis An Der Iwwersetzung verluer, vläicht hunn ech ze vill gefrot
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece ’til you tore it all up
– Awer vläicht war dës Saach E Meeschterstéck bis dir alles zerräissen
Runnin’ scared, I was there
– Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa-Caa –
I remember it all too well
– Ech erënnere mech just ze gutt
And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
– An dir rufft mech erëm un just fir mech wéi E Verspriechen ze briechen
So casually cruel in the name of bein’ honest
– Sou geleeëntlech grausam am Numm Vun Éierlechkeet
I’m a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin’ here
– Ech sinn e gekrauselt Stéck Pabeier dat hei läit
‘Cause I remember it all, all, all
– Well ech erënnere mech un alles, alles, alles
They say all’s well that ends well, but I’m in a new hell
– Si soen alles ass gutt, dat endet gutt, awer ech sinn an enger neier Häll
Every time you double-cross my mind
– All kéier wann dir An de Kapp Kënnt
You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would’ve been fine
– Dir sot, vläicht wa mir Am Alter méi no gewiescht wieren, wier Et gutt gewiescht
And that made me want to die
– An dat huet mech wëlle stierwen
The idea you had of me, who was she?
– Déi Iddi déi dir vu mir hat, wien war hatt?
A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you
– En Ni bedierfnes ëmmer léiwe Bijou deem Säi Glanz op Iech reflektéiert

But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin’ you to come

And he said, “It’s supposed to be fun turning twenty-one”

Time won’t fly, it’s like I’m paralyzed by it
– D ‘ Zäit wäert net fléien, et ass wéi wann ech dovun gelähmt wier
I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still tryin’ to find it
– Ech géif gären erëm meng Al Selbst sinn, awer ech probéieren et ëmmer nach ze fannen
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
– Nom geréckeltem Hiem Deeg An Nuechten wou dir mech är eege gemaach hutt
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
– Elo schéckt dir meng Saachen zréck an ech ginn eleng heem
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
– Awer dir hält mäin alen Schal vun der éischter Woch
‘Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
– Well et erënnert Iech Un Onschold a richt no mir

‘Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
– Well dir iech just ze gutt erënnert, jo
