Young Love Lyrics

Cover art for Young Love lyrics by Gavin DeGraw

i love the refrain- he sounds so good- but i am confused on these lines: "For the young lovers taking the hill One plants the flag while the other is killed" something about sacrifice? i have no idea. but i love the "young love is us"

This song is about the hardships of young love but also about the realness of it and how you would do anything for that other person.

I take it as... well, like in combat games where you capture/move a flag, one person in this partnership succeeds in their goal while the other loses.
