Girls Your Age
TransViolet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
17 runnin from innocence, like it’s a lion
Nipping at my heels, but I’m young so I out run ‘em
Jailbait baby hunting men in their 20's
Cupid’s shooting arrows, but I’m cold so I outgun ‘em
Bad boy talking fast, talking dirty
He tells me that I’m hot, so I tell him that I love him
Chorus
And he says girls your age,
Never mean what they say
I’ve got a renegade heart,
And it’s screaming his name
But then it beats like
You’ve got time to kill baby
Don’t go jump the gun
Live fast while you're young honey
Don’t go chasing love, chasing love
V2
21 thrown back revelry, like it’s morphine
Thought I knew what I wanted, I never saw you coming
Black suit, looking sharp with your dark eyes
He loves my imperfections, so I tell him that I love him
Bad boy talking fast, talking dirty
He tells me that I’m hot, so I tell him that I love him
Chorus
And he says girls your age,
Never mean what they say
I’ve got a renegade heart,
And it’s screaming his name
But then it beats like
You’ve got time to kill baby
Don’t go jump the gun
Live fast while you're young honey
Don’t go chasing love, chasing love
The lyrics to Transviolet's song "Girls Your Age" explore the themes of youth, love, and the rush of experiencing new relationships. The first verse speaks of the naivety of youth, as the singer runs from innocence like it's a lion nipping at their heels. They are drawn to older men, engaging in relationships with them despite being underage, and feel empowered when they outgun Cupid's arrows. They are enthralled by a "bad boy" who talks fast and dirty, clinging to the idea that he loves them.
In the second verse, the singer is now 21 years old and has experienced more of life. They are caught up in revelry, like it's morphine, as they reflect on their past and how they never saw their current love interest coming. They are still drawn to the "bad boy," who finds beauty in their imperfections and tells them they are hot, spurring them to declare their love.
The chorus reflects on the perceptions of those around the singer, who believe that girls their age never mean what they say. The singer's heart is pulled toward their love interest, even though they know they have a wild streak that they may not be able to keep up with. They urge themselves not to chase love too soon, but to enjoy their youth while it lasts.
