It's You
Youthful Love Unveiled: Annie Stela's 'It's You' Echoes the Innocence of First Romance
Lyrics
So when we all took our first breath
Reflecting on the beginning of life and shared experiences.
We line up in a row outside
Describing a group formation, possibly symbolizing unity or conformity.
And passed around a cigarette
Recalling a moment of rebellious behavior, sharing a cigarette.
Just babies squinting up at the street light
Depicting innocence, babies looking at a streetlight with curiosity.
Whispering about what's coming next
Whispering about the uncertain future and what lies ahead.
And you said
Introducing a dialogue where the other person encourages commitment.
"Just say you will,
Repetition emphasizing the importance of making a commitment.
Just say you will."
-You will, you will.
-Ohh, I may be young
Expressing the speaker's awareness of love despite their youth.
But I know when I love someone
-When I love someone
-You said, "Ohh I may be young"
-But I know when I love someone
-When I love someone
-And it's you
Declaring the person the speaker loves.
Our ankles intertwine
Describing a physical connection, with details of intimacy and playfulness.
And then your hands are a beginning to my body's end
-We kicked our shoes off and laid down in the grassy lawn
-Still new enough to play pretend
-And you said
Reiteration of the importance of commitment in the relationship.
"Just say you will,
-Just say you will."
-You will, you will.
-Ohh, I may be young
Affirmation of the speaker's ability to recognize love despite their age.
But I know when I love someone
-When I love someone
-You said, "Ohh I may be young"
-But I know when I love someone
-When I love someone
-And it's you
Reaffirming the identity of the person the speaker loves.
Oh, it's you
Expressing a realization and acknowledgment of personal mistakes.
Why did I choose these mistakes?
Questioning the choice of mistakes and attributing them to the person they love.
These mistakes to make
-Because it's you
-Oh, it's you
Reaffirming the enduring nature of the speaker's feelings for the person.
It never changed for me
-It will always be...
-Ohh, I may be young
Repeating the speaker's understanding of love despite their youth.
But I know when I love someone
-When I love someone...
-Ohh, I may be young
Affirmation of the speaker's ability to recognize love despite their age.
But I know when I love someone
-When I love someone
-And it's you
-Oh, it's you
Continued affirmation and emphasis on the identity of the loved person.
Oh, it's you
-Oh, it's you.
