Young Love
Frontperson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An old love left behind
New love
An old love not on my mind
We made what we could out of what we had
We leaned on each other to see if we held
Tread softly when you go, telling everyone you know I'm the one, you were right
Ooh through darkness and shadow
Don't worry about the sunset, this house we built will hold us
Ooh the heartstopping endings
Ooh the ones least suspecting
You wrote the book while I wrote the song
Young love
Our old pride left to mend
New tide
To turn our thoughts to instead
We were left to ourselves and we left in a rush
The life that we lead is in spite of it all
Tread softly when you go, telling everyone you know
I'm the one, we were right
Ooh through heartache and sorrow
Ooh through darkness and shadow
Don't worry about the sunset, this house we built will hold us
Ooh the heart-stopping endings
Ooh the ones least suspecting
You wrote the book while I wrote the song
