Young Love
Garrett Jacobs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daddy throws you the keys
And you go Main Street driving
Cruising, seat laid back
Feeling like a king
There ain't nothing like her
Dancing in the shotgun seat
Looking like a queen
And we roll, rolling with no where to go
Yeah we go, going anything but slow
First Times and Time Wastin'
Red lights and hearts racin'
Top down on the GTO
JT on the radio, oh oooh
Backroads and new freedoms
Brown eyes and real feelings
Freaking out when she leans in close
Ain't never done this before
I know running in your blood
Ain't no way she ain't the one
Making plans, breaking up
That's just young love
She's go off to college
You go chasin' dreams
When you say goodbye
The tear filled eyes
It's harder than you thought it'd be
But you keep the best of each other
And the memories
First Times and Time Wastin'
Red lights and hearts racin'
Top down on the GTO
JT on the radio, oh oooh
Backroads and new freedoms
Brown eyes and real feelings
Freaking out when she leans in close
Ain't never done this before
I know running in your blood
Ain't no way she ain't the one
Making plans, breaking up
That's just young love
You love and you learn
You go wild, you get hurt
You heal and you grow
But you never forget those
First Times and Time Wastin'
Red lights and hearts racin'
Top down on the GTO
JT on the radio, oh oooh
Backroads and new freedoms
Brown eyes and real feelings
Freaking out when she leans in close
Ain't never done this before
I know running in your blood
Ain't no way she ain't the one
Making plans, breaking up
That's just young love
Oooh young love

Line by Line Meaning
There ain't nothing like it
There is no experience quite like it
Daddy throws you the keys
Your father gives you the keys
And you go Main Street driving
And you go for a drive in town
Cruising, seat laid back
Driving leisurely with the seat reclined
Feeling like a king
Feeling powerful and in control
There ain't nothing like her
There is nobody else like her
Dancing in the shotgun seat
Dancing in the front passenger seat
Pretty smile, been shining like a diamond
Her beautiful smile is bright and sparkling
Looking like a queen
Looking regal and elegant
And we roll, rolling with no where to go
We drive aimlessly without a destination
Yeah we go, going anything but slow
We go fast and with excitement
First Times and Time Wastin'
Exploring new experiences and wasting time
Red lights and hearts racin'
Stopping at traffic lights with hearts beating fast
Top down on the GTO
The roof of the car is down, in a GTO
JT on the radio, oh oooh
Justin Timberlake's music is playing on the radio
Backroads and new freedoms
Driving on unfamiliar roads and enjoying newfound liberties
Brown eyes and real feelings
Being in love with someone with beautiful brown eyes and genuine emotions
Freaking out when she leans in close
Becoming nervous when she approaches and gets close
Ain't never done this before
This is a new experience
I know running in your blood
I know that this type of behavior comes naturally to you
Ain't no way she ain't the one
There is no doubt that she is the one for you
Making plans, breaking up
Planning a future together and experiencing breakups
That's just young love
This is what young love is all about
She's go off to college
She goes to college
You go chasin' dreams
You pursue your aspirations
When you say goodbye
When you bid farewell
The tear filled eyes
Eyes filled with tears
It's harder than you thought it'd be
Saying goodbye is more difficult than expected
But you keep the best of each other
You hold onto the best parts of each other
And the memories
And the memories you shared
You love and you learn
You gain experience and learn through relationships
You go wild, you get hurt
You do reckless things and get hurt emotionally
You heal and you grow
You recover and develop
But you never forget those
But you never forget those experiences
