Verse 1

Vintage tee, brand new phone

High heels on cobblestones

When you are young, they assume you know

nothing

Sequined smile, black lipstick

Sensual politics

When you are young, they assume you know

Nothing

Chorus

But I knew you, dancin' in your

Levi's, drunk under a streetlight, I

I knew you, hand under my

Sweatshirt, baby, kiss it better, I

Refrain

And when I felt like I was an old

Cardigan, under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your

Favorite

Verse 2

A friend to all is a friend to none

Chase two girls, lose the one

When you are young, they assume you know

Nothing

Chorus

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 twenty lifetimes, I

Refrain

And when I felt like I was an old

Cardigan, under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your

Favorite

Bridge

To kiss in

cars and downtown bars

Was all we

needed

You drew stars around my scars

But now I'm

bleedin'

Chorus

'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

Verse 3

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 b

ack to me

And you'd come

back to me

And you'd

come back

Ending

And when I felt like I was an old

Cardigan, under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your

Favorite
