When you are young they assume

you know notAhing

SeqEmuin smile, black lipstickA

Sensual politicsG

When you are young they

assume you know nothAing


ButD I knew you

Dancing in your LeviA’s

Drunk under a streetlightG

I knew you

Hand under my sweatAshirt

Baby kiss it better

AndEm when I felt

like I was an old cardAigan

under someone’s bed

YouG put me on

and said I was your favAorite


A fEmriend to all is a friend to noneA

Chase two girls, lose the oneG

When you are young

they assume you know nothAing


ButD I knew you

Playing hide-and-seekA

and Giving me your weekendsG

I knew you

Your heartbeat on the HighA Line

Once in twenty lifetimes

AndG when I felt

like I was an old carBmdigan

under someone’s bed

YouD put me on

and said I was your favGorite

INSTRO : G|Bm|A|G

To kiss in carsG and downtown bars

Was all we needBmed

You drew starAs around my scars

But now I’m bleedGing


CauseD I knew you

Stepping on the lastA train

Marked me like a bloodstainG

I knew you

Tried to change the endAing

Peter losing Wendy

I kDnew you

Leaving like a fatAher

Running like water

WhenG you are young they

assume you know nothAing


But I knewD you’d linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you’d haunAt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smokGe

would hang around this long

Cause I knew eveArything

when I was young


I knew I’d curseD

you for the longest time

Chasing shaAdows

in the grocery line

I knew you’d missG

me once the thrill expired

And you’d be standAing

in my front porch light


And I knew you’d come backEm to me

You’d come backA to me

And you’d come backG to me

And you’d come backA

AndG when I felt like I was

an old carBmdigan

Under someone’s bed

YouD put me on

and said I was your favGorite
