Young Veins
The Young Veins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is young a word for dumb?
A word for fun
We have the time of our lives every night
Like it's our job to lose our minds every night

But if I were to die tonight
Would you cry or deny my place in your life
I'm aware that you're scared of my heart
But it's there

Is young a word for dumb?
A word for fun
We have the time of our lives every night
Like it's our job to lose our minds every night

It's the same
Go to sleep with our blame
And the shame is enough to separate us
But we can't help ourselves

We're in love
And it really hurts when it's wrong

Is young a word for dumb
A word for fun
We have the time of our lives every night
Like it's our job to lose our minds

And it's every night
We have the time
Like it's our job




To lose our minds
Every night

Ryan time travels, that's why he's on constant hiatus. He's busy being a star in the 60s.
