Young
[Verse 1]
I miss the old times,
The old times with you.
When we'd climb out the window,
running away, holding hands.
When we were young, there were no troubles.
But it's all gone now.
How I miss it,
How I long for those days. [Pre-Chorus]
Oh, take me back,
Please, take me back. [Chorus]
Take me back when we were young,
Young, careless, free.
Escape the nights,
Escape our days.
Escape our feelings,
Escape the world.
Everybody's watching now, watching, waiting.
It's not safe to be young, young and free. [Verse 2]
Did you miss it?
Rolling round the fields, staring up at the cities.
They shone down, but they didn't care.
Didn't care that we were careless.
I wasn't scared when I was with you,
I felt your love. I felt your passion.
[Post-Chorus] Ooh,
take me back to when we were young.
I miss the old times,
The old times with you.
When we'd climb out the window,
running away, holding hands.
When we were young, there were no troubles.
But it's all gone now.
How I miss it,
How I long for those days. [Pre-Chorus]
Oh, take me back,
Please, take me back. [Chorus]
Take me back when we were young,
Young, careless, free.
Escape the nights,
Escape our days.
Escape our feelings,
Escape the world.
Everybody's watching now, watching, waiting.
It's not safe to be young, young and free. [Verse 2]
Did you miss it?
Rolling round the fields, staring up at the cities.
They shone down, but they didn't care.
Didn't care that we were careless.
I wasn't scared when I was with you,
I felt your love. I felt your passion.
[Post-Chorus] Ooh,
take me back to when we were young.
I don't think it's dreadful! I really like the second verse because it sounds like she's speaking to a specific person, and I personally prefer when singers write about specific things from their lives rather than generic ideas, even if I don't have all the context for what they're talking about. I think it's really cool that you wrote one of her songs, especially since you haven't written song lyrics before this. It makes me want to listen to it all the more.
Aww, thank you so much! I think it was a successful first try, I am very glad you enjoyed it <3
