Young
The Chainsmokers [FazMusic.net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young
We were so young when we thought that we knew how to love
Fought about anything, everything led to dysfunction
But we just gotta own that shit
Don't let it go like this
Maybe we can go from this, yeah

We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young

Caught, we were caught up in the high, it was better than drugs
Too high to see that it would all lead to destruction
At least we both know that shit
We just gotta own that shit
I hope that we can go from this, yeah

We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, yeah, it's hard when you're young

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
Say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
Say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, yeah, yeah it's hard when you're young

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young




I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

Overall Meaning

In "Young," The Chainsmokers delve into the idea of love and relationships when one is young. The lyrics talk about how they were young and naive, thinking they knew everything about love, but in reality, they were dysfunctional and fought about everything. They acknowledge their mistakes and faults but choose to own them rather than let them go easily. The song also touches on the idea of being too high, caught up in the moment, and not realizing that things will ultimately lead to destruction.


The lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship where they went too far and made mistakes like wrecking a car and almost fighting their partner's father. But despite all this, they are still learning to love and hope they can move forward from their mistakes. The repetition of "it's hard when you're young" encapsulates the overall mood of the song, which is that love and relationships can be challenging when one is young and inexperienced.

Young lyrics :

[Verse 1]
Young
We were so young when we thought that we knew how to love
Fought about anything, everything that did is function
But we just gotta own that shit
Don't let it go like this
Maybe we can go from this, yeah

[Chorus]
We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

[Hook]
Yeah, it's hard when you're young

[Verse 2]
Caught, we were caught up in the hich, it was better than drugs
Too high to see that it would all lead to destruction
At least we both know that shit
We just gotta own that shit
I hope that we can go from this, yeah

[Chorus]
We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

[Hook]
Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, yeah, it's hard when you're young

[Chorus]
We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

[Bridge: Andrew Taggart]
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
Say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young



@Lagomization

Based on John Fassold's formula for making a Chainsmoker song, and it's almost to a tee.

Same 3 chords: 0:00
Picking a random noun (shit): 0:21, 1:18-1:22
Edgy but not edgy: 0:22
Small breakdown still singing: 0:29
Talking about parents: 0:33
Pointing at a map and pretending you used to go there: 0:37
Lyrics talking about how hard it is to love: 0:44
Chorus walking up and down with those 3 chords: 0:46
Big breakdown: 0:57
Also, big breakdown with 3 chords in lower octave with one high note in higher octave: 0:57
Making it sound like you suffer: 2:40

...and my favorite...

Unsettling amounts of "yeah's": 0:27, 0:54, 1:24, 1:50, 1:59 (2 for 1 special), 3:01, 3:05, 3:13 (another 2 for 1)
