Youth
j.lu Lyrics

When we were young
As children, we never needed a specific reason or justification to fall in love.

We never needed a reason
It was easy for us to fall in love without having to explain or justify it to anyone.

To fall in love
To experience romantic attraction and form an emotional connection.

We had it all
We had everything we needed to be happy and satisfied in our relationships.

But seasons change
Things inevitably change over time and we can't go back to the way things were before.

Wish I could go back again
I regret not being able to relive those moments in my life and experience the pure love and happiness again.

Now the face in the mirror is
As an adult, I see myself growing old and taking on physical characteristics of my father.

Like my fathers
I am becoming more like my father as I age and mature.

Memories of mother screaming start to fade
As time goes on, my memories of painful and traumatic events from my childhood become less vivid in my mind.

Hey miss lady
A friendly greeting addressed to a woman.

It's nice to meet you
Expressing pleasure or gratitude in meeting someone new.

I'd ask your name but girl
Although I am interested in knowing your name, it doesn't matter as much as the connection we share in the moment.

This party's boring let's leave together
Expressing a desire to leave a dull party and spend time together.

She looked at me and you asked me if I wanted more
She gave me a flirtatious look and asked if I wanted to do something more intimate or exciting.

I didn't sleep
I didn't go to bed or rest that night.

Said we could leave
I suggested that we go somewhere else or leave the current location.

Walked in the streets
We spent time together walking and exploring outside.

Beautiful city
Expressing admiration for the surroundings and location we were in.

See the snow but it feels like summer
Although it is winter and snowing, the atmosphere and experience makes it feel like summer.

Silly faces to make you smile
Making faces or expressing humor to bring joy to the other person's face.

Wish that you could just stay for longer
Expressing a desire for the moment to last longer and to continue spending time together.

Guess I'll be taking you home tonight
Implying that we will go home together and spend the night together.

Talk for nights and then into mornings
Spending long periods of time conversing and connecting, often until the early hours of the morning.

On different continents you won't notice
Even though we may be far apart physically, our emotional connection is strong enough to overcome distance and circumstances.

Girl it was us, nothing mattered
Stating that our relationship and connection was the most important thing and everything else didn't matter.

I'd leave your house and then call you after
Leaving the other person's house but maintaining contact and continuing the connection after the physical separation.

And you'd smile cuz I said I missed you
Expressing joy and happiness that the other person missed them and wanted to continue the connection.

Now we're grown and we're overthinking things
As adults, we tend to overanalyze and overcomplicate our relationships and emotions.

You should see yourself through my eyes
Expressing a desire for the other person to see themselves as the artist sees them, likely in a positive light.

Scared to say the things that I wanna say
Feeling afraid or hesitant to express true feelings or emotions to the other person.

Back then we would just need a glass of moonshine
In the past, we didn't need much to be happy and content in our relationship, just a simple drink or activity would suffice.

Promise that we won't lie
Making a vow or agreement to be honest and truthful in their connection and relationship going forward.

Ooooh
An expression of emotion or feeling, possibly happiness or nostalgia.

Wish I could go back again
Repeating the desire to relive past experiences and emotions.
