This song is about being young and in love and everyone telling you that it’s not worth it that there’s only a 2% chance you’ll make it, but choosing to take that 2% chance for the sake of love
[Verse 1]
Everyone thinks that we won't make it far
Let’s blow their minds
How old do you have to be to say you’re in love?
10, 15, 20, 21?
[Pre-Chorus]
The world seems to have their doubts about us
But I don’t understand how they get a say
'Cause they don’t even know us
[Chorus]
This is for the young ones, in love
Not going by the rule of thumb
The hatred, for sacred, who cares about what others want?
For you 'cause they don’t have a clue
Of the extent that teenagers go to
At least make an attempt
I’ll take a chance of 2%
[Verse 2]
Everyone thinks that we’re just crazy kids
Let’s prove them wrong
How old do you think we’ll be when we look back and laugh?
36, 52, 81?
[Pre-Chorus]
The world seems to have their doubts about us
But I don’t understand how they get a say
'Cause they don’t even know us
[Chorus]
This is for the young ones, in love
Not going by the rule of thumb
The hatred, for sacred, who cares about what others want?
For you 'cause they don’t have a clue
Of the extent that teenagers go to
At least make an attempt
I’ll take a chance of 2%
[Bridge]
We were meant to be, it’s written in the pages
Here comes the third degree
They’re mad we haven’t graduated
You’re holding on to me
And I know you won’t let go
[Chorus]
This is for the young ones, in love
Not going by the rule of thumb
The hatred, for sacred, who cares about what others want?
For you 'cause they don’t have a clue
Of the extent that teenagers go to
At least make an attempt
[Chorus]
We are the young ones, in love
Not going by the rule of thumb
The hatred, for sacred, who cares about what others want?
For you 'cause they don’t have a clue
Of the extent that teenagers go to
At least make an attempt
I’ll take a chance of 2%
[Outro]
2%
This is for the young ones, for the young ones, yeah
Oh, I’ll take a chance of 2%
