cardigan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Vintage tee, brand new phone High heels on cobblestones When you are young, they assume you knownothing Sequinsmile, black lipstick Sensualpolitics When you are young, they assumeyou 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 back to me And you'd come back to me And you'd come back [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
