Young Love
E. T. W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when
When we were young
Looking up at the sky
We saw the sun
I saw The one deep in your eyes
Deep in your eyes
Deep in your eyes
I saw things in your eyes that were sort of deceiving
Things in your eyes that just kept me from leaving
Now I do not know where to go cause I'll just find my way right back to you
Tryna find to know
That you are not the one for me 
So I'm stuck here still no
Cause I don't have the courage to leave
Trynna figure a way out I'm stuck here still
Trynna figure a way out I'm stuck here still
And you tell me you don't love me now I can't heal
Now I can't heal
Now I can't heal
Now I can't
I'm stuck here still
This can't be real
I'm stuck here still
This can't be real
I'm stuck here still
I'm stuck here still
Now I can't feel
Ooohh
Ooohh
Ocean eyes
Ocean eyes
In your eyes
Reasons why
I'm stuck alone
Stuck in the past that I think
I can't really find a way
Stuck in the way stuck in the days stuck in the things that you do
Drive me out of my mind 
Memories I kept with the things I hold precious in my life
All the times I thought you would never go but I was in right
Young love makes it seem like there's no one else but you
Tried to move on with no wheels so I would not move
Like everything depreciates so why get new 
Kept on trying till I grew and then I knew
If you was to ever be mine yea it would be bs
If you was to ever be mine yea it would be bullshit yeah




If you was to ever be mine yea it would be bullshit
If you was to ever be

Overall Meaning

The song "Young Love" by E.T.W. is a melancholic reflection on the pain of unrequited love. The lyrics express a sense of longing and confusion as the singer tries to come to terms with their feelings for someone they believed was "The one." The opening lines are nostalgic, taking the listener back to a time when everything seemed simpler and the future was full of promise. However, the singer quickly reveals that this idyllic view was tainted by the realization that the person they were looking up at the sky with was deceiving them. This realization caused the singer to feel stuck and unsure of where to go, as they still had feelings for this person despite their flaws.


Throughout the song, the singer struggles with a lack of closure and the pain of knowing that their love is unrequited. They try to move on, but find themselves trapped in memories and unable to fully let go. The repetition of the phrase "I'm stuck here still" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in emotional limbo. The use of vivid imagery, such as "ocean eyes" and "sun in the sky," adds to the bittersweet tone of the song.
