Young Lyrics
Looking back now, well it makes me laugh
We were growin our hair, we were cuttin' class
Knew it all already, there was nothing to learn
We were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn
Listen to our music just a little too loud
We were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd
Headin' to the rapids with some discount beer
It was a long train tussle but we had no fear.
Man I don't know, where the time goes
But It sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
Talked a good game when we were out with the guys
But in the back seat we were awkward and shy
Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain
And I guess there are some things that are never gonna change
Man I don't know, where the time goes
But It sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
Young, Young, Yeah Wishin' we were older
Young, Hey I wish it wasn't over
Man I don't know, where the time goes
But It sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
Young, Hey wishin' we were older, wish it wasn't over
We were growin our hair, we were cuttin' class
Knew it all already, there was nothing to learn
We were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn
We were hangin' in there with the outcast crowd
Headin' to the rapids with some discount beer
It was a long train tussle but we had no fear.
But It sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
But in the back seat we were awkward and shy
Girls were a mystery that we couldn't explain
And I guess there are some things that are never gonna change
But It sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
Young, Young, Yeah Wishin' we were older
Young, Hey I wish it wasn't over
But It sure goes fast, just like that
We were wanna be rebels who didn't have a clue
With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young
Young, Hey wishin' we were older, wish it wasn't over

This song talks about how when people are young all they want to be is older. Then when the older years come, they look back and realize they grew up to fast and that they wish they were still younger. It shows that you should take life one day at a time and not take things for granted.
People are as young or as old as they feel. Thats what i was taught, and i still feel young.
this song reminds me so much of my friends and me.. NOW.. "With our Rock n' roll T-shirts, and our typically bad attitudes Had no excuses for the things that we'd done We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly Young" yeah thats us.. right on the dot.. and we all cant wait to be older.. but i know as soon as i am "older" were gonna want to be young again.. ahh such a good song
i know this is a "song meaning" website, but i just have to say that this song is AWESOME i love it!!! This was my grad song, and even though i only grad'd last year, i feel like i could cry when i hear it because i miss being younger again!!!
'goldenbearspirit' has this song down perfectly. one of my favorite kenney chesney songs.
I know you're as young as you feel you are, but when you've reached a certain age you have to show responsibility. I'd love to rebel, but i do have a clue... So it comes down to acting crazy once in a while instead of all the time :-)
Ironically when we are young,we wish we were older,then when we're older-we wish were younger.
