Cardigan Lyrics – Taylor Swift | Aaron Dessner

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!

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
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 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!

I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing wendy
I!

I knew you
Leaving like a father
Running like water
I!

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…!
