My very first girlfriend, she was meant to make Sarah jealous
But she never knew it, and Sarah saw straight through it
Still we carried forward, kept it up for four whole months
I thought it could be real, but she said we were through
As it turns out, she loved someone else too
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call?
When I started college, I began to date a high schooler
We worked at the tavern and pretended we had passion to burn
We tried to write love songs, and we snuck around our parents' houses
Got caught and were scolded, acted like we weren't old yet
And later, I'd rewrite those songs so I didn't have to give her credit
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call?
Does the word "young" refer to the people or to the love?
Because if it's the love, then anyone can have the kind that's young
Love's easy to lose if it's easy to find
But the day-in-day-out, the hustle and grind
Is what makes the young love turn to fine wine
And we'll be old enough to drink it in time
'Cause I don't want to grow old and still have a young love
But you cannot be young and have an old love
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call young love?
Is this what they call?
