Young Blood from Passive Me, Aggressive You is a heavily synth driven pop tune that debuted at #1 on the New Zealand Singles Chart and won the APRA Silver Scroll in 2010. The song contains a nostalgic feel that combines both the excitement of young love with the sadness of its inevitable end.
[Verse 1]
We're only young and naive still
We require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins
[Chorus]
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate
We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky
[Chorus]
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge: Thom Powers]
As it withers, brittle it shakes

Can you whisper? Can you whisper?
[Chorus]
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Can you whisper?)
The bittersweet between my teeth
(Can you whisper?)
Trying to find the in-betweens
(Can you whisper?)
Fall back in love eventually
(Can you whisper?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
