Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Counting off, creating a rhythmic start to the song
Tell me that you love me more
Desire for reassurance and affirmation of love
Sleepless long nights
Referencing sleepless nights, possibly spent contemplating or yearning
That is what my youth was for
Suggesting that the experiences of youth include sleepless nights
Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Recalling youthful hopes that still linger
Left you with nothing, but they want some more
Reflecting on past relationships that left emptiness but are still sought after
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Noting a change in emotions or attitude
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Acknowledging self-awareness or realization
Sweetheart, bitter heart, now I can't tell you apart
Describing a mixed emotional state - both sweet and bitter
Cozy and cold, put the horse before the cart
Emphasizing a disordered or confused situation
Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Reference to emotional hopes of the past
Too scared to own up to one little lie
Fear of admitting a small untruth
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Reiteration of emotional change
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Reinforcing self-awareness
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
List of numbers suggesting randomness or lack of order
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
Emphasizing that money cannot restore past love
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Reiteration of the idea that money cannot bring back lost love
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
No specific lyrics provided
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Reinforcing the idea of emotional transformation
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Emphasizing self-awareness
Oh, uh, oh, you're changing your heart
Reiteration of emotional change
Oh, uh, oh, you know who you are
Emphasizing self-awareness
Who you are-are-are-are, ooh-ooh
Repetition of self-awareness with vocal embellishment
Oh, for the teenage boys
Reference to the impact of relationships on teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
Highlighting the emotional toll on the heart
For the teenage boys
Reiteration of the impact on teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
Repeating the idea of heartbreak among teenage boys
