創作背景
“這是我為這張專輯寫的第一首歌,它始終迴繞在我的腦海里,因為它很完整地講述了一個故事,從與某人邂逅時開始,伴隨著純潔的戀愛初期的各種細節,隨著故事的發展到了苦澀的結局,這是一首充滿情感的歌,因為它[1]告訴了你失去如此痛苦的原因,因為它讓你記住這段戀情里曾經的美好。”
Us Weekly雜誌的報導稱泰勒的新歌《回憶太清晰》就講述了她與
傑克·吉倫哈爾逝去的戀情。2010年,泰勒被拍到與傑克一家甜蜜共度感恩節,不過這段戀情卻在同年聖誕節閃電結束。
泰勒對於自己在電話里被甩一事難以釋懷,她告訴《早安美國》節目:“我為《回憶太清晰》傾注了不少心力,因為我花了很長的時間去精挑細選我想表達的東西。這首歌最初的版本長達十分鐘,不適合放進專輯中。所以我又精簡了自己的遣詞造句,然後這首歌才變成了'
Red'的一部分。”
歌曲歌詞
(1:)
I walked through the door with you, the air was cold
But something about 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...
(2:Chorus)
'Cause there we are again on thatlittle town street
You almost ran the red cause you werelooking over at me
wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
(1:)
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glassesin a twin sized bed
And your mother's telling stories, about you on the tee ball team
You taught me about your pastthinking 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...
(2:Chorus)
'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 wellwell
(3:)
Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much
but maybe this thing was a masterpiecetill you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
And you call me up againjust 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
(4:)
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 youmade 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 innocenceand it smells like me
You can't get rid of it, 'cause you remember it all too well
(2:Chorus)
'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
