you drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleedin'
'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, runnin' like water, i
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, chasing 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
and when i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said i was your favorite
