Young
The Airplanes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Marty Balin & Paul Kantner)
In my heart I have a feeling,

and I don't know what I'm gonna do;
What should I do?
Oh, what a beautiful world, the world;
What should I do?

Maybe you've found it too;
And tomorrow.
Today is made up of yesterday,
Don't you know what I have found?
And all her sorrow.
Young girl Sunday blues,
One side of me is filled with brightness,

no matter what I might say;
The days are made with waterfall colors,
Couldn't I make you stay?
If rain falls down the side of my face,

must be a rainy day;
But I get lost in yesterday,
And tomorrow, tomorrow;
Young girl Sunday blues,
And all her sorrow.

and I'm high;
I walk beside you laughing,
When I tell you I dream,
Don't try to touch me with words;
It might seem like silence,
But so much can be heard;
I think of things,

that loving you brings,
Maybe my thing is her;
Today is made up of yesterday,
And tomorrow;
Young girl Sunday blues,
And all her sorrow;
Let yourself wander free and easy

Ah, come into my mind,
Ah, come into my life,
Sunday blues girl,
Young and new girl,
You're the only true girl,
Here can please me,
I said "Please me, yeah!
Please me!
Please me!
Please me!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Airplanes' song "Young" seem to center around feelings of confusion and uncertainty towards love, as well as a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world. The opening lines, "In my heart I have a feeling, and I don't know what I'm gonna do; What should I do?" suggest a sense of being lost or unsure about how to proceed with one's emotions. The following lines express a love for the world and a desire to understand it: "Oh, what a beautiful world, the world; What should I do? Maybe you've found it too."

The chorus ("Young girl Sunday blues, And all her sorrow") seems to suggest a focus on the singer's relationship with a specific person who is experiencing sadness. Throughout the song, he expresses his feelings and confusion regarding this relationship in abstract ways, such as "one side of me is filled with brightness" and "I think of things that loving you brings." However, he also seems to imply that he finds comfort and clarity in memories of the past and hopes for the future, as he repeatedly references the idea that "today is made up of yesterday, and tomorrow."

Overall, the lyrics of "Young" seem to be intentionally vague and open to interpretation, leaving it up to the listener to piece together the singer's feelings and experiences. However, the song's strong emotional tone and evocative imagery make it a powerful expression of love and confusion.
