Taylor Swift - The Making of 'cardigan' | Vevo Footnotes

Vintage tee, brand new phone, high heels on, cobblestones. When you are young they assume you know nothing. Sequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politics. When you are young they assume you know nothing. Knew you, dancing in your Levi's drunk under a streetlight. I, I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt, baby kiss it better. I, and then 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 a weekend. I, I knew you, your heartbeat on the high line once in twenty lifetimes. I, and then I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed. You put me on and said I was your favorite. To kissing cars in 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. They assume you know nothing. A tattoo kiss, I knew you'd haunt. The smell of smoke would hang around this long. 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 then I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed. You put me on and said I was your favorite.
