Testo Youth

Cut the engine, kill the headlights seven houses down
My chest was pounding so hard, I still almost hear the sound
We were deathcab making plans there on the dead-end street
I remember feeling so much, I could barely breathe

We were perfect, we were magic
We were lightning when we had it
I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again
Now when I think about us, all I can see is the end
We didn't know what it was. How could we know what to do?
Why is young love, young love wasted on youth?

What if that summer never was? What if you and me
Lost it to someone else? What if we met at twenty-three?
Would we have made it last if we knew how bad heartbreak hurts?
What if the best we ever had happened to be the first?

I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again
Now when I think about us, all I can see is the end
We didn't know what it was. How could we know what to do?
Why is young love, young love wasted on youth?
Wasted on youth

I wanna believe that we were alive
We had the real thing, not just a dopamine high

I wish we bottled it up so we could feel it again
Now when I think about us, all I can see is the end
We didn't know what it was. How could we know what to do?
Why is young love, young love wasted on youth?

Whoa
Wasted on youth
Oh
