Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we were never apart
Just with so big hearts
We were having fun
But there was more than that
You could read my mind
We were young
Just with so big hearts
We were having fun
But there was more then that
You could read my mind
We were young
We were young
We were having fun
You could read my mind
We were young
And we were never apart
Just with so big hearts
We were having fun
But there was more than that
You could read my mind
We were young
We were young
And we were never apart
Just with so big hearts
We were having fun
But there was more then that
You could read my mind
We were young
And we were never apart
Just with so big hearts
We were having fun
But there was more then that
You could read my mind
We were young
And we were never apart
Just with so big hearts
We were having fun
But there was more then that
You could read my mind
In SRTW's song "We Were Young," the lyrics paint a picture of a young and carefree time in the singer's life. The repetition of the line "we were young" emphasizes the idea that this time in their life was unique and fleeting. The use of the phrase "never apart" suggests that the singer was deeply connected to the people they were spending this time with. The imagery of having "so big hearts" conjures up an idea of youthful optimism and emotionality.
The lyric "there was more than that you could read my mind" adds a layer of mystery to the song. It could suggest that the singer was in a particularly intense relationship or friendship during this period of their life, as the other person seemed to know them so well. Alternatively, it could hint at a kind of nostalgic longing for a time when their emotions and desires were more transparent and clear to others.

We were young
We were inexperienced and full of energy
And we were never apart
We always stuck by each other's side
Just with so big hearts
Our hearts were filled with passion and excitement
We were having fun
We were enjoying ourselves and living in the moment
But there was more than that
Our connection went beyond just having a good time
You could read my mind
Our bond was so strong that you could understand me without words

Right I've been trying to hunt down these lyrics for the past 2 hours and here's what I found in case you are like me and can't get the song out of your head:
We were young
And we were never apart
Just two soul mate hearts
We were having fun
But it was more than that
You could read my mind
Pls correct if wrong.

We were young, we were dumb
We would do it all again
We will never sleep
We will stay up with our friends
Where we go
We don't know
Where we go
We don't know
These memories will fade
But we'll do it again
We were high on youth
Searching for our happy end
Where we go
We don't know
Where we go
We don't know
