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 Dancing in your Levi’s

Drunk under a streetlight 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 knew you

Your heartbeat on the High Line Once in twenty lifetimes

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 bleeding



Cause I knew you Stepping on the last train



Marked me like a bloodstain I knew you

Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy

I knew you

Leaving like a father Running like water

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 standing 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
