We break up and you slam the door
Im messed up on the bedrooms floor
What the hell do we do this for?
I push you out but you come back
That attraction? I can′t fight back

Ohh-oh
Keep telling myself that I should let go

But I hold on and
Ohh-oh
Keep telling myself that I should move on
But I don't

Cause we got that night love
We got that sad love
We got that fun love
We got that young love
Yeah that dumb love

Cause we got that night love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nightcap's song "Young Love" depict a tumultuous relationship that seems to be filled with contradictions and intense emotions. The first paragraph introduces a familiar scenario of breaking up, followed by the singer feeling emotionally wounded and longing for the other person. The line "What the hell do we do this for?" suggests frustration and confusion about why they continue to engage in this volatile relationship. Despite trying to push the other person away, there is an irresistible attraction that keeps pulling them back together.

The chorus emphasizes the different facets of their love, describing it as "night love," "sad love," "fun love," "young love," and even "dumb love." This implies that their love is a mix of passionate and often irrational emotions, leading them to hold on and refuse to let go. The repetition of "we got that love" emphasizes the intensity and uniqueness of their connection, despite its flaws and challenges.

The second paragraph reveals the desire to escape from reality and find solace within each other's arms. The singer craves affection and finds comfort in hearing the things they long to hear. Similar to the first paragraph, there is a push and pull dynamic where one person tries to distance themselves, but the pull of attraction is too strong to resist.

The chorus is repeated again, reinforcing the idea that their love encompasses a wide range of emotions, both positive and negative. The phrase "we got that young love, that dumb love" acknowledges the naive and perhaps foolish nature of their relationship. However, they continue to prioritize it and refuse to move on, even when they know it may not be the wisest choice.

In the final repetition of the chorus, the emphasis on "young love" is intensified, suggesting that their relationship is characterized by a youthful and reckless fervor. As they repeat the line "We got that young love," it becomes clear that they are caught up in the intensity and allure of their connection, unable to break free from its grip.
