When you are young they assume

you know nothing

Sequined smile, black lipstick,

sensual politics

When you are young, they assume

you know nothing

But I knew you, dancin' in your

Levi's

I knew you, hand under my

sweatshirt

And when I felt like I was an

old cardigan

You put me on and said I was

your favorite

A friend to all is a friend to

none

When you are young, they assume

you know nothing

And when I felt like I was an

old cardigan

You put me on and said I was

your favorite

To kiss in cars, and downtown

bars

Leavin' like a father, runnin'

like water, I

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

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 when I felt like I was an

old cardigan

You put me on and said I was

your favorite
