Well, I'm here 'cause I drive too fast
And I'm too young to have a criminal past
Some good behavior would be all right
But I don't seem to qualify
I'm just out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess I'm doin' time for being young
So cut these shackles off of me
This kind of suit don't set me free
Well, I can't live if I can't ride
I want my baby by my side
I'm just out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess I'm doin' time for being young
Now, I can't let the right thing stand in my way
Someday baby, I'll know better
But right now I'm making my pay
No, I don't want to be in this zoo
I want to be outside lovin' you
It's heartbreaking to be this age
I was locked in prison of teenage rage
Well, I was out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess, I'm doin' time for being young
What do I do, who do I thank
To get me out of this stinkin' tank?
It's heartbreaking to be this age
Well, I was locked in prison of teenage rage
I was out for a little fun
And I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess, I'm doin' time for being young
I was out for a little fun
And I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess, I'm doin' time for being young
I must be doin' time for bein' young
I don't wanna be doin' time for being young
And I'm too young to have a criminal past
Some good behavior would be all right
But I don't seem to qualify
I'm just out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess I'm doin' time for being young
So cut these shackles off of me
This kind of suit don't set me free
Well, I can't live if I can't ride
I want my baby by my side
I'm just out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess I'm doin' time for being young
Now, I can't let the right thing stand in my way
Someday baby, I'll know better
But right now I'm making my pay
No, I don't want to be in this zoo
I want to be outside lovin' you
It's heartbreaking to be this age
I was locked in prison of teenage rage
Well, I was out for a little fun
But I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess, I'm doin' time for being young
What do I do, who do I thank
To get me out of this stinkin' tank?
It's heartbreaking to be this age
Well, I was locked in prison of teenage rage
I was out for a little fun
And I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess, I'm doin' time for being young
I was out for a little fun
And I'm guilty till I'm twenty-one
I guess, I'm doin' time for being young
I must be doin' time for bein' young
I don't wanna be doin' time for being young

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
