Who's to Say Lyrics
Stand up straight
Do your trick, turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright when you're around
They tell us slow down
We're too young, you need to grow
Well speed's the key,
And they don't know who we are
Who's to say we're not good enough
Who's to say that this is not our love
Mother, don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
cause they'd bleed before you
Sometimes family are the ones you choose
It's too late now, I hold on to this life I've found
Who's to say we won't burn it out
Who's to say we won't sink in doubt
Who's to say we won't fade to grey
Who are they anyway, they don't know
And you say we're too young
But maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me you never really knew us
You never really knew
You and I packing up my room
We feel alright
But we're not welcome, soon we'll be driving
Cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together
Who's to say we aren't getting stronger
Who's to say I can't live without you
Who are they anyway, they don't know
And you say we're too young
But maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
Who's to say, who's to say
Who are they anyway
Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around.
Do your trick, turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright when you're around
They tell us slow down
We're too young, you need to grow
Well speed's the key,
And they don't know who we are
Who's to say that this is not our love
cause they'd bleed before you
Sometimes family are the ones you choose
It's too late now, I hold on to this life I've found
Who's to say we won't sink in doubt
Who's to say we won't fade to grey
Who are they anyway, they don't know
But maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me you never really knew us
You never really knew
We feel alright
But we're not welcome, soon we'll be driving
Cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we aren't getting stronger
Who's to say I can't live without you
Who are they anyway, they don't know
But maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
Who's to say, who's to say
Who are they anyway
Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around.

I think all the songs on this album are beautiful, but especially this one.
I think it's mainly about a relationship that isn't accepted by others but to the people in the relationship, they're really in love and they don't understand why everyone is so negative towards them and is trying to pry them apart. Everyone thinks they aren't mature enough to handle this kind of love, but as Vanessa says, Who's to say we won't stay together. This also seems applicable to long distance relationships.
I think she's trying to say that if you really love someone, it doesn't matter about the age or anything else, as long as you are in love and have that special person who helps you "shine".
Overall, it's a very uplifting song. LUV IT!
i think its beautiful especially the chorus
in my opinion vanessa isnt only saying that as long as two people love each other it doesnt matter what others say. rather, i feel that it is saying others have no say about others relationships "who's to say we won't burn it out? who's to say we won't sink in doubt? who's to say we won't fade today? who are they anyway, they don't know"

That last line just gets me....so beautiful...
"Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around."

Ilove the line...

I really do love both of her albums, especially the second one. And this song...just magnificent. It's like, what do they know about our love? If they don't realize how much we love each other, then they don't know anything about us because this is our world. It talks about how "and you say we're too young but maybe you're too old to remember..". So true. People can forget how strong love can be, they can forget that even young people can fall deeply in love...and even if it won't last, they should just let it be, because it's beautiful for the time being, and kids need to learn to make their own mistakes. <sorry that is a huggge run-on sentence.
This song is one of my favorites. It's pretty.
This is my fav song off Harmonium. I really like the story it tells and it's got a great hook. Also, the piano's very pretty.
