Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I knew you
  • Hand under my sweatshirt
  • Baby, kiss it better, I
  • And when I felt like I was an old cardigan

Sing it again — final chorus

  • I knew you
  • Your heartbeat on the High Line
  • Once in 20 lifetimes, I
  • And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
knewyou'dyoung
