Vintage tee, brand new phoneHigh heels on cobblestonesWhen you are young, they assume you know nothingSequined smile, black lipstick, sensual politicsWhen you are young, they assume you know nothing'Cause I knew youSteppin' on the last trainMarked me like a bloodstain, II knew youTried to change the endingPeter losing Wendy, II knew youLeavin' like a fatherRunning like water, I'Cause when you are young, they assume you know nothingBut I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kissI knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifsThe smell of smoke would hang around this long'Cause I knew everything when I was youngI knew I'd curse you for the longest timeChasin' shadows in the grocery lineI knew you'd miss meonce the thrill expiredAnd you'd be standin' in my front porch lightAnd I knew you'd come back to meYou'd come back to meAnd you'd come back to meAnd you'd come backAnd when I felt like I was an old cardiganUnder someone's bedYou put me on and said I was your favoriteAnd you'd come back to meSalt air, and the rust on your doorI never needed anything moreWhispers of "Are you sure? ""Never have I ever before"But I can see us lost in the memoryAugust slipped away into a moment in time'Cause it was never mineAnd I can see us twisted in bedsheetsAugust sipped away like a bottle of wine'Cause you were never mineBack when we were still changin' for the betterWanting was enoughFor me, it was enoughTo live for the hope of it allCanceled plans just in case you'd callAnd say, "Meet me behind the mall"So much for summer love and saying "us"'Cause you weren't mine to loseYou weren't mine to loseLife was a willow and it bent right to your windThey count me out time and time againLife was a willow and it bent right to your windBut I come back stronger than a 90's trendWait for the signal and I'll meet you after darkShow me the places where the others gave you scarsNow this is an open shut caseI guess I should've known from the look on your faceEvery bait and switch was a work of artThe more that you say, the less I knowWherever you stray, I followI'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plansThat's my manYou know that my train could take you homeAnywhere else is hollowI'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plansThat's my manThe more that you say, the less I knowWherever you stray, I followI'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plansThat's my man
