Cardigan
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
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 youd linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew youd 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 Id curse you for the longest time
Chasin shadows in the grocery line
I knew youd miss me once the thrill expired
And youd be standin in my front porch light
And I knew youd come back to me
Youd come back to me
And youd come back to me
And youd come back
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someones bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite
August
Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of Are you sure?
Never have I ever before
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case youd call
And say, Meet me behind the mall
So much for summer love and saying us
Cause you werent mine to lose
You werent mine to lose
Willow
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger than a 90s trend
Wait for the signal, and Ill meet you after dark
Show me the places where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I shouldve known from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch was a work of art
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
You know that my train could take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
The more that you say, the less I know
Wherever you stray, I follow
Im begging for you to take my hand
Wreck my plans, thats my man
