Young and Dumb
Chance Waters Lyrics

She bit my hand so hard that it drew blood,
Her biting my hand and drawing blood made me realize that I'm in true love with her.

I think that was the moment I knew true love.
Biting my hand and drawing blood made me aware of my true love towards her.

She says she loves who I'd be if I grew up,
She loves the person she thinks I will become if I mature and grow up.

but 'til then could I please keep my shoes on?
She doesn't want me to walk around barefoot because I'm not mature enough yet.

Cause she says we've still got forever,
She believes that we have a long time together in the future.

we're young and dumb and we don't know better -
She thinks that we are both young and naïve, making childish mistakes.

and I don't get her - but I tell her...
I don't understand her reasoning, but I try to listen and communicate with her.

She'll come around,
She will eventually understand and see things from my perspective.

well I know, we're up and down
Our relationship is not always smooth sailing as there are ups and downs.

but that won't, mess us around.
Our arguments and disagreements will not ruin our relationship as we are committed to each other.

And this may be jumping in the deep end,
Our relationship may be progressing too quickly, like jumping into the deep end of a swimming pool.

but maybe we could watch some TV on the weekend.
We can take things slow and enjoy each other's company by doing simple things like watching TV on the weekend.

I'll come to yours, maybe we could have some pizzas,
I'll come over to your place, and we can have some pizzas together.

fight about some dumb shit and tell each other secrets.
We can have small fights over little things while still sharing intimate secrets with each other.

And while you were getting plates and the tea set,
While you were setting the table with plates and a tea set,

I saved time and thought of names for our three kids,
I used the time to think of names for our future three children.

but I'll forget them when we argue for no reason.
Our silly arguments will make us forget about the names we thought of for our kids.

Tease you endlessly but worry 'bout your feelings.
I like to tease you jokingly, but at the same time, I'm careful not to hurt your feelings.

And you say that together we make true love,
You think that our love together is authentic and true.

and in time you'll show me what you're made of.
You will eventually prove yourself to me and show me how much you genuinely care for me.

And I'd be lying if this wasn't a test,
Our relationship is a test of our mutual love for each other.

so get your shit right or I'll give you an F.
You need to straighten out and get everything right in our relationship, or I will give you a failing grade.

Am I foolish? Is this real?
Am I being foolish for being in this relationship or is it real and genuine?

Smashing the tea set to bring you to heel,
I'd do anything to make you recognize my authority and control in this relationship, even if it is in a destructive way.

but who cares? Who knows?
It doesn't matter who cares or knows because our relationship is exclusive to us.

Clean this mess up and let's give it a go.
Let's forget about our quarrels, clean up the mess and give our relationship another chance.

Our final straw's still holding fast,
Our relationship has reached a critical point, but we are still holding onto it firmly.

our house of sticks won't blow apart.
Despite our arguments, our fragile relationship will not fall apart.

We laid these bricks on broken hearts
Our relationship was built on a foundation of previous heartaches and heartbreaks.

and set a fire in the hearth.
Our love for each other has kindled a fire in our hearts.

And if the wolves don't fear the sparks,
Even if our love is unconventional, we will still hold onto it despite outside opposition.

or if I fuck it up, my God,
If I mess up our relationship, I'd be extremely disappointed in myself.

I'd rather sit here in the dark.
I would prefer to sit in darkness than lose our relationship.

No, he don't get me, but he tells me...
Despite not fully understanding me, he still chooses to communicate with me genuinely.

No, I don't get her...
I don't fully understand her perspective, reasoning or behaviors.

No, he don't get me...
He doesn't fully understand my side of the story.

You'll come around,
You'll eventually see things from my perspective.

Our up and down moments will not wreck our relationship.
Our relationship is still going strong despite the ups and downs.

No, no, oh-oh...
A repeated phrase to add emphasis to the conclusion.
