the demon in devon

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

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 a T-ball team

you taught me 'bout your past thinkin' your future was me

And you were tossing me the car keys, fuck the patriarchy

Key chain on the ground, we were always skipping town

and i was thinking on the drive down, any time now

he's gonna say its love, you never called it what it was

till we were dead and gone and buried

check the pulse and come back swearing it's the same

after three months in the grave

And then you wondered where it went to

as i reached for you but all i felt was shame

and you held my lifeless frame

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

and there we are again when nobody had to know

you kept me like a secret but i kept you like an oath

sacred prayer and we'd swear to remember it

all too well

well maybe we got lost in translation

Maybe i asked for too much

but maybe this thing was a masterpiece

Till you tore it all up

running scared, i was there

I remember it

all too well.

Not weeping in a party bathroom

some actress asking me what happened

you that's what happened you

You who charmed my dad with self effacing jokes

sipping coffee like you're on a late night show

But then watched me watch the front door all night willing 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

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 smells like me

Can't get rid of it

cause you remember it all too well

cause there we are again when i loved you so

Back before you lost the one thing you've ever known.

and i was never good at telling jokes

but the punchline goes

"i'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"

From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones

I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue

just between us, did the love affair maim you too?

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 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

they say all's well that ends well, but i'm in a new hell

Everytime you double cross my mind

You said, if we had been closer in age

maybe it would have been fine

And that made me want to die

the idea you had of me, who was she?

A never needy ever lovely jewel

whose shine reflects on you

i walked through the door with you, the air was cold

but something 'bout it felt like home somehow
