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
