cardigan

Vintage tee, brand new phone

High heels on cobblestones

When you are young, they assume you know nothing

♪

Sequin smile, black lipstick

Sensual politics

When you are young, they assume you know nothing

♪

But I knew you

Dancin' in your Levis

Drunk under a streetlight, I

I knew you

Hand under my sweatshirt

Baby, kiss it better, I

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

♪

A friend to all is a friend to none

Chase two girls, lose the one

When you are young, they assume you know nothin'

♪

But I knew you

Playing hide-and-seek and

Giving me your weekends, I

I knew you

Your heartbeat on the High Line

Once in 20 lifetimes, I

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

♪

To kiss in cars and downtown bars

Was all we needed

You drew stars around my scars

But now I'm bleedin'

'Cause I knew you

Steppin' on the last train

Marked me like a bloodstain, I

I knew you

Tried to change the ending

Peter losing Wendy, I

I knew you

Leavin' like a father

Running like water, I

And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young

I knew I'd curse you for the longest time

Chasin' shadows in the grocery line

I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

And you'd be standin' in my front porch light

And I knew you'd come back to me

You'd come back to me

And you'd come back to me

And you'd come back

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite
