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

and when i felt like i was an old cardigan

under someone's bed

you put me on and said i was your favorite

and 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 i knew you'd come back to me

you'd come back to me

and you'd come back to me
