Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequin smile, black lipstick
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[Chorus]
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
[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
[Bridge]
To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I'm bleedin'
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 3]
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
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
穿著古著，握著新手機；
踏著高跟鞋，踩著鵝卵石；
當你年少輕狂，世界總認為你一無所知。
閃爍的微笑，漆黑的雙唇；
政治多麼的令人慾火焚身；
當你年少輕狂，世界總認為你一無所知。
[Chorus]
但我知道，我懂你
雙腳在牛仔褲中跳著舞
在街燈下迷失了方向，我想
我了解，我懂你
一路探進我的毛衣，
親愛的，吻我，吻我。
[Refrain]
當我覺得自己一無是處時，
像是一件被遺忘的罩衫時，
你將我穿上，說我是你的最愛。
[Verse 2]
四海皆友，卻無處可歸；
三角之中迷失，失去了唯一；
當你還太年輕，他們只會認為你什麼都不懂。
[Chorus]
但我知道，我懂你；
童顏戲語，
共度假期，
我懂你，
在鐵道上的脈動；
一生一度，一期一會。
[Refrain]
當我覺得自己一無是處時，
像是一件被遺忘的罩衫時，
你將我穿上，說我是你的最愛。
[Bridge]
在車裡熱吻，在城中酒吧親熱，
那曾是我們僅需要的一切；
你在我的傷口旁劃著星星，
但現在的我血流不止，
[Chorus]
因為我知道，
當你站上末班列車，
將我歸類於不可抹滅的污點；
我知道，
你試著扭轉結局，
使彼得潘失去了溫蒂；
我早就知道，
你會像個無情的父親一樣，拋棄你的過去，
像是橋下流水，逝去而不可追，
當你還太年輕，他們總認為你什麼都不懂。
[Verse 3]
但我知道你會像個紋繡下的唇印，
我知道你會在數千萬計的悔恨中陰魂不去，
這份煙硝味將長存此地，
因為早在我年輕時，我就懂了。
我早就知道我會一輩子詛咒你的名字，
在生活的每一個角落追尋你的影子，
你會想念我的，我知道，我等世界的新鮮刺激過期的那一天，
你會回到我的門前，臉上打著我的前廊的光。
我知道你會回到我身邊，
你會回到我身邊，
你會回到我身邊，
你會回來的。
[Refrain]
當我覺得自己一無是處時，
像是一件被遺忘的罩衫時，
你會將我穿上，然後說，我是你的最愛。
