"I walked through the door with you The air was cold But something 'bout it felt like home somehow, and I Left my scarf there at your sister's house And you've 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 Oh, oh, oh 'Cause there we are again on that little town street You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at 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 And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team You tell me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me And I know it's long gone and There was 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 round the kitchen in the refrigerator light Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah 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 And 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, you remember it all It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well"
There's a lot of Swifties who say they don't like Taylor covers because they think "only Taylor can sing her own songs with emotion," but... THIS. THIS HIT HARD.
Taylor sounds like she's trying to forget everything, but failing. Jake is... Sorta in the moment, I suppose, reminiscing why, instead of trying to forget. My take away, anyway.
as a swiftie boy this is exactly how i wish i sound every time i sing this song haha. very well done, the artistry and your voice matches the emotions you're sharing
This is the cover that you can truly feel the meaning of the song. The crack and emotion in his voice in 3:01 is really powerful and achingly beautiful. How can you sing like that!!!
Honestly when the first time I listened to this song on Spotify, I thought it was your original song. I didn't know it was Taylor Swift's. You sang it so touchful and with that piano playing, it hit more deeply....... I cried.
Soo glad I found this dude way back! I always love his songs and then end up sharing most of them!:) SUCH a good voice and the lyrics are always on point!!
I love Taylor's emotion putting into her own "all too well", however, when listening to your cover, you made it special somehow that I feel like regretting something but I am not sure. I fall for this cover from head to toe. Love from Vietnam
You have one of the most intriguing voices, I can feel everything you sing. I remember listening to “I don’t miss you” for the first time and I legitimately felt like I was being broken up with lol. Taylor Swift is my favorite artist of all time, and I don’t think anyone could’ve covered this song as beautifully as you did.
