Title: When We Were Young

Artist: The Summer Set

Album: Everything's Fine

This song reminds me of my first love when I was 16. This love is the same that I talked about in my previous music post. I lost "it" to him, he was the first to ever tell me he loved me, and the first one to not mean it one bit. We dated for 9 months before things finally ended (and then started again for 3 months after). There was cheating and my heart was broken. I loved him to the ends of the Earth and he will always have a special place in my heart (and my timehop).

My parents disliked him and after our break-up we tried to get back together (openly) to no avail. We would sneak around instead, seeing each other at public events so it wouldn't be awkward when people questioned why we were together. It was all worth it, every last bit. He helped me to create a baseline for where my love for a partner comes from. And I feel this song perfectly describes us.

Do you remember, back when We fell in love in your best friend’s basement? Spun the bottle and hoped it will land on you. Thought we were cool, listening to Zeppelin. Making out on the Stairway To Heaven Nowhere to go, so slept out on the roof But now, we hardly even speak, at all. Looking back, how did we get away? I never thought that we’d surrender, When I was yours and you were mine. Never regret, no, we learned how to love; When we were young, when we were young Snuck out in your daddy’s ride up Drive in making love for the first time Forget the silver screen, It’s A Wonderful Life. But now, we hardly even speak at all, Looking back, how did we get away? I never thought that we’d surrender When I was yours and you were mine Never regret, no, we learned how to love; When we were young and still together No there was nothing left to prove, Never regret, no, we learned how to love; When we were young and reckless Dumb and fearless Fighting in the streets Will you remembered me? Young forever back then, Never knew the first love’s the hardest. I never thought that we’d surrender When I was yours and you were mine Never regret, no, we learned how to love; When we were young and still together No, there was nothing left to prove. Never regret, no, we learned how to love; When we were young When we were young When we were young
