“Younglife” is the ninth track on Anberlin’s 2008 album, New Surrender. Upbeat yet imbued with nostalgia, its contemplative lyrics look back on the freshness of youth when the speaker looked on the world with wonder. Reminiscing about the past, the speaker relates two separate narratives. The first...
[Verse 1]
Hey brother, do you remember when
We used to play outdoors
Til the light was absorbed by the night?
Hey brother, it was an innocent time
We used to laugh 'til we cried
We're still boys on the inside
(I want to do it again)
[Chorus]
The first time staying out all night
The last time that we got away with lies
I can hear it in the back of my mind
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Late nights and early lights
Never thought it would come to a goodbye
I replay it in the back of my mind
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
[Post-Chorus]
Lala la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
[Verse 2]
Hey lover, do you remember when
We would dance in your apartment
'Til neighbors would knock on your door?
And I remember, you remember when
We had no money to speak of
No where else to eat but your floor
(I want to do it again)
[Chorus]
The first time staying out all night
The last time you would look me in the eyes
I can see that in the back of my mind
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Late nights, all entwined
Made a promise to never say goodbye
I replay it in the back of my mind
Over and over again
[Bridge]
All those days gone forever
Wonder if we're going to ever
See all our younglife friends that we made again
Have we all lost connection?
Life pulls in all directions
Memories bring us back to where we've been
[Chorus]
(I want to do it again)
The first time staying out all night
The last time that we got away with lies
We can hear it in the back of our minds
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Late nights and early lights
Never thought it would come to a goodbye
We replay it in the back of our minds
Over and over and over
(I want to do it again)
[Post-Chorus]
Lala la la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
Lala la la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
