While We're Young
Pegasus Bridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my heart and my soul I can feel this is right
And I know my bones will grow old and my body get lost in the night

'Cause money can't buy back the youth of your life
when you're older, you're older, you're old

So let's dance in style
let's go dance for a while
While we're young, young, young

Something in my heart tonight
Feel it in my soul
I'll let you see my wilder side
If I can see your bones

In this moment of mine I can feel this is right
Four in the morning, just searching
Now you must know what that's like

'Cause money can't buy back the love of your life
When you're older, you're older, you're old

So carry the weight of our biggest mistakes
On our shoulders, our shoulders, our shoulders

Something in my heart tonight
Feel it in my soul
I'll let you see my wilder side
If I can see your bones

Something in my heart tonight
Feel it in my soul
I'll let you see my wilder side
If I can see your bones

We're getting older
But you're still in my soul, soul

We're getting older
But you're still in my soul, soul

Something in my heart
Feel it in my, my, my soul

Something in my heart tonight
Feel it in my soul
I'll let you see my wilder side
If I can see your bones

Something in my heart tonight
Feel it in my soul




'Cause money can't bring back the stuff in your life
When you're young, young, young

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pegasus Bridge's song While We're Young revolve around the fleeting nature of youth and the importance of living in the moment. The first verse acknowledges that while our bodies will inevitably age and deteriorate, there is a deeper aspect of ourselves - our heart and soul - that remains unchanged. The chorus encourages living life to the fullest while we are still young and able, as money cannot bring back the time we have lost.


The second verse expands on this sentiment, declaring that even at four in the morning when all seems lost, there is still a glimmer of hope and opportunity to be seized. The lyrics suggest that breaking free from convention and showing our wild side seems only appropriate when we are young and free to be whoever we want. The bridge acknowledges that despite our best efforts, mistakes will be made and we must carry the weight of these choices with us.
