“Young Blood” is the major label debut single by Noah Kahan. A fusion of youthful adventure and adulthood pressures to lose your individuality, the song is about remaining you against all the odds.
I wrote the song Young Blood when I had been in Vermont for a few months over the winter and was kind...
[Verse 1]
Oh dear, oh dear, I’m sorry
That you grew up so soon
A cold year and no high school parties
I’ve been drinking alone
Oh, I’ve been drinking alone
So, don't fear, don’t fear their warnings
They’re bitterer than most
4 years of driving across the country
For empty seats at their shows
And they’ve been drinking alone
[Chorus]
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You young, young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You young, young blood
You young, young blood
Young blood
[Verse 2]
So when you’re mad for no reason
At everything at once
And when you start overthinking
I’ll be drinking at home
Oh, I’ll be drinking at home
[Chorus]
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep it humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You young, young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You young, young blood
You young, young blood
Young blood
[Bridge]
And if you want, I could tell the truth
That this life takes a toll on you
I spend nights stitching up the loose threads in my soul
In the morning, I’m bullet proof
And if you want, I could tell the truth
That this life takes a toll on you
I spend nights stitching up the loose threads in my soul
In the morning, I’m bullet proof
In the morning, I’m bullet proof
[Chorus]
So, keep your time, keep your mind, keep it humble
Start your life in the middle of the jungle
You young, young blood
Rub your eyes, be surprised, keep hungry
Stay alive, try to lose all of your money
You young, young blood
You young, young blood
You young, young blood
Young blood

”Young Blood” is a song I wrote when I was alone in my small town of Strafford, Vermont during the winter. … I was feeling kind of disjointed in what I was doing and what I was trying to accomplish in music. I didn’t really know where I was going and I just wanted to write a song that could kind of...
