Cardigan Lyrics By Taylor Swift

    vintage tee brand new phone
    high heels on cobblestones
    when you are young they assume you knownothing
    sequinsmile black lipstick
    sensualpolitics
    when you are young they assumeyou know nothing

    but i knew you
    dancin’ in your levi’s
    drunk under a streetlight i
    i knew you
    hand under my sweatshirt
    baby kiss it better i

    refrain
    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 hideandseek and
    giving me your weekends i
    i knew you
    your heartbeat on the high line
    once in twenty lifetimes i

    refrain
    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 bleedin’

    ’cause i knew you
    steppin’ 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
    leavin’ like a father
    running like water i
    and 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 whatifs
    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
    chasin’ shadows in the grocery line
    i knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired
    and you’d be standin’ 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

    refrain
    and when i felt like i was an old cardigan
    under someone’s bed
    you put me on and said i was your favorite
