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 Levi's
Drunk under
a streetlight
I, I knew you
Hand under
my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it
better, right
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 nothing
But I knew you
Playin' hide-and-seek
and
Givin' me your
weekends
I, I knew you
Your heartbeat
on the High Line
Once in twenty
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
Runnin' 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
Chasing 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
