Cardigan Lyrics

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 Someones 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 & 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 Someones 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 Someones Bed
You Put Me On And Said I Was Your Favorite
