Young Love
Jedward Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah yeah yea yeah

I was with my friends
Third street walking the promenade
Then you passed by
Like a shooting star
I started falling for you,
Without a warning

In my dreams I'm asking your name,
Put your number down
Then I wake up and I chickened out
This part I hated,
Young love so complicated

I know what people say,
Don't get carried away
Say boy got your whole life
Ahead of you
But what am I supposed to do

Young love, is taking me over
Your love, I'm loosing control
My heart stop - stops
When I get close to you
Like lightning striking out of the blue

Young love, It's still in my sleep,
So what, If you're feeling me
Put your hands up, hands up,
All about the world,
Everybody in young love

Since that day
I've been walking the avenues
Hoping that I would bump into you
Or you into me, but nothing
Just cold empty streets

I never thought that I would
See your face again(face again)
But just like that
I saw you walking in
Doors of my show sat down
In front of the row

I know what people say,
Don't get carried away
Say boy got your whole life
Ahead of you
But what am I supposed to do

Young love, is taking me over
Your love, I'm loosing control
My heart stop - stops
When I get close to you
Like lightning striking out of the blue

Young love, It's still in my sleep,
So what, If you're feeling me
Put your hands up, hands up,
All about the world,
Everybody in young love

I know what people say,
Don't get carried away
Say boy got your whole life
Ahead of you
But what am I supposed to do

Young love, is taking me over
Your love, I'm loosing control
My heart stop - stops
When I get close to you
Like lightning striking out of the blue

Young love, It's still in my sleep,
So what, If you're feeling me
Put your hands up, hands up,
All about the world,
Everybody in young love

I was with my friends
Third street walking the promenade
Then you passed by
Like a shooting star




I started falling for you,
Without a warning

Overall Meaning

The song "Young Love" by Jedward is about the all-consuming feeling of young love. The lyrics describe the moment when Jedward first saw the person they fell in love with, like a shooting star passing by on the promenade. The singer is so taken with this person that they dream about them, but are too scared to make the first move. The chorus expresses the feeling of being overtaken by this love and losing control, as well as the desire to share the feeling with the world by raising their hands up. Despite the doubts expressed by others, the singer cannot help but be drawn to this all-consuming love, even if it seems complicated.


The song captures the intense emotions and feelings that come with falling in love for the first time. The lyrics are simple yet genuine, and the melody is catchy and upbeat. This song was released in 2012 as part of Jedward's third album, "Young Love". The duo represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011, and this album was their first after their Eurovision success.


Line by Line Meaning

I was with my friends
I was strolling along with my buddies


Third street walking the promenade
We were walking on Third Street's walkway


Then you passed by
Suddenly you crossed my path


Like a shooting star
You appeared as quickly as a meteorite in the sky


I started falling for you, Without a warning
I found myself inexplicably attracted to you


In my dreams I'm asking your name, Put your number down
I dreamt of getting your details so I could contact you later


Then I wake up and I chickened out This part I hated, Young love so complicated
But upon waking up, I felt too nervous to make a move; young love can be challenging


I know what people say, Don't get carried away Say boy got your whole life Ahead of you But what am I supposed to do
I'm aware of what others advise but I'm unsure of how to proceed


Young love, is taking me over Your love, I'm losing control My heart stop - stops When I get close to you Like lightning striking out of the blue
The intensity of my feelings for you is overwhelming, and my heart races whenever I'm near you


Young love, It's still in my sleep, So what, If you're feeling me Put your hands up, hands up, All about the world, Everybody in young love
Even when I'm asleep, thoughts of you fill my head; if you feel the same way, raise your hands as we celebrate our shared emotion - young love - with people all over the world


Since that day I've been walking the avenues Hoping that I would bump into you Or you into me, but nothing Just cold empty streets
Ever since we first met, I've been combing the streets for another chance encounter, but the roads have been barren and lonely


I never thought that I would See your face again(face again) But just like that I saw you walking in Doors of my show sat down In front of the row
I never believed I'd come face to face with you once more; yet, there you were, walking into the theatre and taking a seat right at the front


I know what people say, Don't get carried away Say boy got your whole life Ahead of you But what am I supposed to do
I'm familiar with what people suggest, but I'm unsure of how to act


Young love, is taking me over Your love, I'm losing control My heart stop - stops When I get close to you Like lightning striking out of the blue
My feelings for you are consuming, and I'm powerless when I'm in your presence


Young love, It's still in my sleep, So what, If you're feeling me Put your hands up, hands up, All about the world, Everybody in young love
Even when my eyes are shut, you dominate my thoughts; if you feel the same way, raise your hands and join others just like us - united under the banner of young love

Yeah, yeah 
I was with my friends, third street walking the promenade
Then you pass by like a shooting star
I started falling, for you
Without a warning.
In my dreams I’m asking your name, put your number down
Then I wake up and I chickened out.
This part I hated,
Young Love, so complicated.

I know what people say, don’t get carried away
They say ‘boy you got your whole life ahead of you’,
but what am I supposed to do?

Young love is taking me over, your love
I’m losing control, my heart stops, stops when I get close to you,
Like lightning striking out of the blue.

Young love stealing my sleep but so what,
If you’re feeling me put your hands up, hands up
All around the world everybody in Young Love, Young Love

Since that day, I’ve been walking the avenues, 
Hoping I would bump into you, or you into me.
But nothing, just cold empty streets
I never though I would see your face again.
Just like that I saw you walking in, the doors of my show.
Sat down in the front row.

I know what people say, don’t get carried away (oh no)
Say boy you got your whole life ahead of you, but what am I supposed to do?

Young love, is taking me over your love,
I’m loosing control
My heart stop – stops
When I get close to you
Like lightning striking out of the blue

Young love, It’s still in my sleep,
But so what, If you’re feeling me
Put your hands up, hands up,
All about the world,
Everybody in young love.

Young Love
I know what people say, don’t get carried away
They say ‘boy you got your whole life ahead of you’, 
but what am I supposed to do?

Young love, is taking me over your love,
I’m loosing control
My heart stop – stops
When I get close to you
Like lightning striking out of the blue
Young love, It’s still in my sleep,
But so what, If you’re feeling me
Put your hands up, hands up,
All about the world,
Everybody in young love.
Young Love
Ah yeah

I was with my friends
Third street walking the promenade
Then you pass by like a shooting star
I started falling, for you
Without a warning.
