Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for you but i might as well leave
My girls are here but it's you that i need
Do you recall
Do you recall
Say i'm to insecure boy please
Don't talk to me like i'm still in my teens
Do you recall
you don't know what you want
true i have given up
do you still believe in us
I've been lost in your eyes
But we had our time
Young love
Young love
Thought that we could be
Now we're history
Young love
Young love
I can guarantee
Now we're history
Don't you know now we're history
Now we're history
Telling myself, that i'm too good for you
I'm over here screaming dreams do come true
Feeling so small
baby don't fall
Now i see it all
I see it all
you don't know what you want
true i have given up
do you still believe in us
I've been lost in your eyes
But we had our time
Young love
Young love
Thought that we could be
Now we're history
Young love
Young love
Thought that we could be
Now we're history
