Written by Swift and its producer Aaron Dessner, "Cardigan" is a folk, soft rock, and indie rock ballad, with a stripped-down arrangement of a piano, drums, and violins.

cardigan Lyrics

[00:06.75] Vintage tee, brand new phone
[00:10.43] High heels on cobblestones
[00:14.14] When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[00:18.88]
[00:21.40] Sequin smile, black lipstick
[00:25.18] Sensual politics
[00:28.94] When you are young, they assume you know nothing
[00:33.22]
[00:36.20] But I knew you
[00:38.13] Dancin' in your Levis
[00:39.98] Drunk under a streetlight, I
[00:43.71] I knew you
[00:45.56] Hand under my sweatshirt
[00:47.45] Baby, kiss it better, I
[00:51.06] And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
[00:55.22] Under someone's bed
[00:58.45] You put me on and said I was your favorite
[01:02.85]
[01:05.73] A friend to all is a friend to none
[01:09.42] Chase two girls, lose the one
[01:13.24] When you are young, they assume you know nothin'
[01:17.51]
[01:20.40] But I knew you
[01:22.50] Playing hide-and-seek and
[01:24.31] Giving me your weekends, I
[01:28.02] I knew you
[01:29.73] Your heartbeat on the High Line
[01:31.79] Once in 20 lifetimes, I
[01:35.48] And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
[01:39.67] Under someone's bed
[01:42.85] You put me on and said I was your favorite
[01:48.97]
[02:02.90] To kiss in cars and downtown bars
[02:06.63] Was all we needed
[02:10.54] You drew stars around my scars
[02:14.06] But now I'm bleedin'
[02:19.59] 'Cause I knew you
[02:21.58] Steppin' on the last train
[02:23.40] Marked me like a bloodstain, I
[02:27.20] I knew you
[02:28.97] Tried to change the ending
[02:30.74] Peter losing Wendy, I
[02:34.49] I knew you
[02:36.39] Leavin' like a father
[02:38.14] Running like water, I
[02:41.61] And when you are young, they assume you know nothing
[02:47.16] But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss
[02:50.99] I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs
[02:54.67] The smell of smoke would hang around this long
[02:58.39] 'Cause I knew everything when I was young
[03:01.94] I knew I'd curse you for the longest time
[03:05.90] Chasin' shadows in the grocery line
[03:09.31] I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired
[03:13.19] And you'd be standin' in my front porch light
[03:16.31] And I knew you'd come back to me
[03:20.62] You'd come back to me
[03:24.10] And you'd come back to me
[03:27.83] And you'd come back
[03:33.55] And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
[03:37.70] Under someone's bed
[03:41.02] You put me on and said I was your favorite
[03:44.56]
