Young
Jon Robert Hall Lyrics

I'm going to tell my future daughter, and my future son
The singer wants to give a piece of advice to his children in the future.

That time is on the run so don't chase it, don't chase it
Time passes quickly and it's important to enjoy every moment, rather than trying to hold onto the past.

Enjoy your crushes and learn from
It's good to have crushes and learn from them.

Your crashes, you don't need to rush this
It's okay to make mistakes and it's important to take your time.

You should know what I know now
The singer wishes he had known these things when he was young.

If only I knew what I know now
The singer wishes he could go back in time and tell himself these things when he was younger.

When you're young
The singer is talking about the experience of being young.

You think you're right even when you're wrong
When you're young, you can be stubborn and think you're right even when you're not.

You fall in love with love songs

And sad songs

Sometimes I really miss the way it hurt

When 'More Than Words' would play

I miss the way it was

Back when we were young

I wanna be a great grandfather

And see my daughter's daughters grow up
The singer wants to see his grandchildren grow up and flourish.

And learn the world keeps on turning
The singer wants to acknowledge that the world doesn't stop and life goes on.

But all that's uncertain will always work out in the end
Even in the face of uncertainty, the singer believes things will work out in the end.

I still get shaken up every time that I drive by her street
The singer still gets emotional when he passes by the street of someone he used to love.

I wanted you bad, but looking that far back makes me think
The singer reflects on his past feelings and realizes that he may have been wrong.

Back when we were young
The singer is still reminiscing about the past when he was young.

Back when we were young

Back when we were young

Back when we were young
