“Adolescent Love” is the first track of “This is How the World Ends”, Badflower’s second album released September 24, 2021.
In this somber entry, Josh Katz sings about the strong and painful experiences falling in love during adolescence can bring.
[Verse 1]
I was only a boy, I looked younger than the others
Only hair on my head and a voice just like my mother's
So I stayed quiet and fully clothed
And this girl in my grade, I would dream her in my covers
After saving her from the cruelty of her father
Though her father wasn't cruel at all
[Refrain]
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm
[Verse 2]
I was head over heels, I stuffed socks into my sneakers
I was hoping she'd think that I was tall enough to reach her
But the teacher took my socks away
He said, "You're only a boy, you're too young to really love her
And whеn you grow up, you'll find
There'll be hundrеds more just like her"
But I said, "Teacher, you don't understand"
[Chorus]
The heartbreaks and the romances will come
But adolescent love is a violent one
The heartbreaks and the romances may come
But adolescent love is a violent one
