With An Urgency Lyrics
Hey you, young love, don't let them cut out your tongue. Swallow the key to your heart and smile through your teeth.
Hey you, young love, don't let them cut out your tongue. It's only over when we choose to forgive them.
Give me your hand when no one else understands the day the hostages start making demands.
We gave ourselves when there was nobody else. We found what we were looking for in the summer.
I never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune, but I believed you when you told me I was ruined.
And if the sun comes up again, I'll be waiting for the others to come in, they'll never take us alive.
And they can never take away what keeps you safe when you're afraid to lose it all. Just love and nothing more until we love nothing more. Until we love.
I never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune, but I believed you when you told me I was ruined.
And if the sun comes up again, I'll be waiting for the others to come in, they'll never take us alive.
I never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune, but I believed you when you said I was ruined.
Hey you, young love and all that's left of us. Hey you, young love. (x2)

No commentS?! okkkay.
I lovve this song. Think it's about a couple.. and everyone kinda goes against them.. [[they'll never take us alive]]. Well I don't really get all the other parts, but I have a general idea.. hmm anyone else?
What a great song. I think it's really underated yea its pretty much about two lovers.
I'm pretty sure it's "when we choose to forget them" not "when we choose to forgive them". It could be either, but forget is what it sounds like and makes my interpretation of the song a lot stronger so I'm gonna go with it.
The song is saying that once you stop caring what people think about you (forget them) you can do anything. When you stop caring what people think people who are still self conscious will not understand because you will be able to say/do whatever you want while other people are hostages to their own self conscious worries (the day the hostages start making demands). The song becomes a tragedy when the speaker starts to believe what his lover says about him (but I believed you when you said I was ruined) and that destroys him and makes him a hostage to his self consciousness again. At the end of the song, 'you' (the speaker's lover) is all that's left of 'us' because the speaker has been destroyed by self consciousness.
it sounds more like her might be saying "but I believed you when you told me I was wrong." instead of "ruined" ... or it could just be me...
as for the maning, i agree for the most part with RU12 "Hey you, young love, don't let them cut out your tongue. It's only over when we choose to (forget) them. Give me your hand when no one else understands, the day the hostages start making demands. We gave ourselves when there was nobody else. We found what we were looking for in the summer. " That's pretty straightforward... the hostages (as RU12 said) being the people who are hostages of their self conciousness, not being themselves. They start making these demands as to how she should be to belong to that certain group, so he tells her to take his hand because he has no demands like that, she can just be herself with him
i'm just not sure what to think of "I never begged to be immune, to love a heart so out of tune, but I believed you when you said I was (wrong)."
sorry for the spelling mistakes there... i clearly didn't realize i should look it over before posting it
