Taylor Swift Lyrics

Vintage tee, brand new phone
Despite having a new phone, I still hold onto old things like this vintage tee.

High heels on cobblestones
I'm walking on an uneven surface in high heels, showing that I can handle difficult situations.

When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Many people overlook or underestimate young people's abilities and intelligence.

Sequin smile, black lipstick, Sensual politics
I use my looks and charm to navigate the complexities of politics and relationships.

But I knew you, Dancin' in your Levi's, Drunk under a streetlight, I, I knew you, Hand under my sweatshirt, Baby, kiss it better, right
Despite our faults and imperfections, I still knew and loved you deeply. We shared intimate moments and took care of each other.

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan Under someone's bed, You put me on and said I was your favorite
Despite feeling old and unloved, you rescued and validated me. In your eyes, I was still valuable and cherished.

A friend to all is a friend to none, Chase two girls, lose the one, When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Trying to be friends with everyone and pursuing multiple romantic interests can lead to losing the one you truly wanted. People often underestimate the inexperience and learnings of the youth.

But I knew you, Playin' hide-and-seek and, Givin' me your weekends, I, I knew you, Your heartbeat on the High Line, Once in twenty lifetimes, I
We shared beautiful memories and rare moments of true connection. I know you deeply and from a place that only comes once in a lifetime.

To kiss in cars and downtown bars, Was all we needed, You drew stars around my scars, But now I'm bleedin'
The simple things we did together were enough for us. You helped me heal my wounds and see my beauty, but now I'm hurting again.

'Cause I knew you, Steppin' on the last train, Marked me like a bloodstain, I, I knew you, Tried to change the ending, Peter losin' Wendy, I, I knew you, Leavin' like a father, Runnin' like water, I, And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
You left a deep impact on me, like a permanent scar. I knew that our story wouldn't have a happy ending, like the story of Peter and Wendy. You left me like a father and ran away like water. People often underestimate what the youth can perceive and comprehend.

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 that you'd leave a lasting mark on me, like a tattoo kiss. I knew that I'd always wonder what could have been between us. The smell of smoke and all the memories would still linger in my mind. When I was young, I knew everything and felt everything deeply.

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, And you'd come back
I knew that I would hold onto the pain and resentment of losing you for a long time. I would keep looking for you in random places, despite it being pointless. I knew that once the excitement and thrill ran out of your life, you'd come back to me, standing on my front porch light. You will come back to me, over and over again.
