​cardigan letra

Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young they assume you know nothing
Sequence smile, black lipstick, sentual politics
When you are young they assume you know nothing

But I knew you, dancin' in your Levi's
Drunk under the streetlights
I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better

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
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving 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, in downtown bars
Was all I needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin'

'Cause I knew you
Steppin' on the last train
Marked me bloodstain, I

I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losin' Wendy, I
I knew you

Leavin' like a father, runnin' 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 hard 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
Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd miss me when the thrill expired
And you'd be standin' 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

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone's bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
