Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Vintage tee, brand new phone,
High heels on cobblestone,
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 dancing in your Levi's
Drunk under the streetlights,
I knew you, handed you my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better.

[Chorus:]
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,
Just two girls, lose the one,
When you are young they assume you know nothing.
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–

[Chorus:]
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 3:]
To kiss in cars, in downtown bars
Was all I needed,
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleeding.
'Cause I knew you
Stepping on the last train,
Marked me like bloodstain, I–
I knew you
Tried to change the ending,
Peter losing Wendy, I–
I knew you
Leaving like a father, running like water, right.
When you are young they assume you know nothing.
But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo you kissed,
I knew you'd haunt over my war days,
The smell of smoke would hang around this long,
'Cause I knew everything when I was young.
I knew I cursed you for the longest time,
Chasing shadows in the grocery line,
I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired,
And you'd be standing in my front porch lock,
And you'd come back to me,
And you'd come back to me,
And you'd come back to me,
And you'd come back.

[Chorus:]
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed,
You put me on and said I was your favorite.
