I wrote Young when I was 14 on a family trip to Chicago. It’s about the idealism I had when I was really young – that if I could just make people like me, it would solve all my problems. As I grew older, I started to realize that popularity wasn’t the answer I was looking for.
When we were kids we would wonder what the meaning was
Of all the pain in the time that we spent growing up
And now I know
That we could get what we want and it still wouldn’t be enough
And we can’t run from our pride but we still fall in love
Cause we’re still young
Oh we’re still young
And we hide our insecurities
Cause we don’t know who we want to be
Cause we’re still young
I wish that I could say that I was alright
Wish I could fall asleep without regrets and
I wish I saw you in a different light
Just so the anxiety would get out of my head and
The voices tell me it’s all my fault
The way that everything panned out
And lately I’ve been blaming myself for my faults and
I feel like I’m the only one my mind can doubt
Cause I’m the one who messed it up
How could you trust me with your love
Cause I’m the one who should step it up
But somehow I can’t do enough
When we were kids we would wonder what the meaning was
Of all the pain in the time that we spent growing up
And now I know
That we could get what we want and it still wouldn’t be enough
And we can’t run from our pride but we still fall in love
Cause we’re still young
Oh we’re still young
And we hide our insecurities
Cause we don’t know who we want to be
Cause we’re still young
And I’m feeling like the time has slipped away
And everyone’s got it figured out but I don’t know
I guess that maybe I’ll find a way
But even if I did I don’t know where I’d go
Cause times they change and I’m still indecisive
Immature and I don’t know what right is
And honestly sometimes I rather wouldn’t know
Cause we’re still young
Oh we’re still young
And we hide our insecurities
Cause we don’t know who we want to be
Cause we’re still young
Cause we’re still young
Oh we’re still young
And we hide our insecurities
Cause we don’t know who we want to be
Cause we’re still young
Looking back
I️ can tell
I️ can’t do this by myself
Would you catch me if I️ fell
Would you catch me if I️ fell
Looking back
I️ can tell
I️ can’t do this by myself
Would you catch me if I️ fell
Would you catch me if I fell
