Young Hearts Lyrics
Try to make it last,
Nothing you can do,
In a photograph,
The innocence you thought you’d lost is staring back at you.
Wo-ooh..
Young hearts beat fast,
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
There is no turning back.
There is no turning back.
Knowing where you’re bound,
It’s coming in to you.
Then you turn around,
The innocence you thought you’d lost is now caught up to you.
Oooh, oooh, oooh..
Young hearts beat fast,
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
Oooh, oooh, oooh..
Young hearts beat fast,
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
Time enough to live,
Never time to die.
All you had to give,
Taken by the one you loved and given to a lie.
Why?
Young hearts beat fast,
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
Wa-ha-hau..
Young hearts beat fast,
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
Wa-ha-hau..
Young hearts beat fast,
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
Wa-ha-hau..
Young hearts beat fast...
Nothing you can do,
In a photograph,
The innocence you thought you’d lost is staring back at you.
Wo-ooh..
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.
Why did you have to go?
Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.

The innocence you thought you’d lost is now caught up to you.
Oooh, oooh, oooh..
Driving down the road.
Rubber, plastic, metal, glass.

Never time to die.
All you had to give,
Taken by the one you loved and given to a lie.

Young hearts die young,
When they are all alone and there is no turning back now.
Wa-ha-hau..

It's about a guy who commits suicide after an argument with his partner!
It sounds to me like, and by the way I love this song, maybe a young guy or a girl...probably a guy has had a fight with his partner and has sped off in a car in anger...but he's lost control, crashed and killed himself.
That's not exactly it, but it's somehting like that
I agree that this is a great 80's song. Although, I think the meaning is more figurative than literal. It keeps on repeating the idea of lost innocence, first trying to lose it and unable to, later losing it and not being able to get it back.

I think hearts beating fast can refer to many of the thrills of youth (i.e. driving), but particularly when they're about to have sex, thus symbolizing the death of the young heart.

Sounds like there is also a break-up from the "why'd you have to go?" And then referring back to the lost innocence with "All you had to give, Taken by the one you loved and given to a lie." Makes it sound like it's about a young girl that got used for sex.
i agree moe. it seems to be more about a sudden loss of innocence rather than a song about a car accident. still a great song; one of my absolute favorites from the 80s, and easily the best off the karate kid soundtrack.

Karate Kid represent!
the last part is "given to a lie - Why?" - not wahaha
great movie with great songs with great lyrics.
"In photograph - the innocence you thought you lost is starring back at you"- that's just stunning.
