starting with cardigan- betty looks back on when james cheated on her, she is sad and broken-hearted, a truly beautiful melancholy song.

•“high heels on cobblestones” “when you are young, they assume you know nothing” “chase two girls, lose the one” “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” “to kiss in cars and downtown bars”

august- from the pov of inez, describes the affair she had with james, is light hearted yet also wistful

•“cause it was never mine and i can see us twisted in bedsheets” “your back beneath the sun wishin’ i could write my name on it” “cause you weren’t mine to lose” “back when i was livin’ for the hope of it all” “remember when i pulled up and said “get in the car””

betty- from the pov of james, denotes his love for betty and how he deeply regrets the affair with inez

• “you heard the rumors from inez you can’t believe a word she says most times, but this time it was true” “i’m only seventeen, i don’t know anything” “i was walking home on broken cobblestones” “she pulled up like a figment of my worst intentions she said “james, get in, let’s drive”” “yeah, I showed up at your party will you have me? will you love me? will you kiss me on the porch” “standing in your cardigan kissin’ in my car again”
