World Was Young
Nostalgia Unveiled: Rediscovering Lost Love in 'World Was Young'
Lyrics
Do you remember when the world was young
Reflecting on a time in the past when the world felt youthful and full of possibilities.
And I could turn you on (Oh I could turn you on)
Expressing the ability to ignite emotions or excitement in someone.
Do you remember when you lit me up
Recalling a moment when the other person brought light or happiness into the speaker's life.
And then I let you down (I know I let you down)
Acknowledging that the speaker let the other person down or disappointed them.
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Wishing for the other person to experience less sorrow than before.
Because I know that I still do
Admitting that the speaker still feels emotional pain or sadness.
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
Reiterating the ongoing emotional struggle faced by the speaker.
I remember when I shut you out
Recollecting a time when the speaker closed themselves off emotionally from the other person.
I started shutting down (I started shutting down)
Acknowledging the speaker's emotional withdrawal and shutting down.
And I remember when it hurt like hell
Recalling a painful moment when the speaker caused emotional pain to the other person.
When I was hanging up (I can still feel it now)
Describing the lingering emotional impact of the hurtful incident.
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Expressing a hope that the other person's emotional pain has lessened over time.
Because I know that I still do
Acknowledging that the speaker still experiences emotional pain.
Do you remember when the world was young
Revisiting the theme of a bygone era when the world seemed young and carefree.
You could spin me up, yeah we could turn it round
Recalling the mutual ability to uplift each other and bring positivity into their lives.
I broke the door when I was running out
Describing a moment of conflict or departure, symbolized by breaking a door while leaving.
I hope you fixed it up
Expressing a hope that the other person has managed to repair the damage caused.
I can't stop running now
Indicating a continuous, perhaps impulsive, pattern of running away from situations.
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Reiterating the desire for the other person's reduced emotional suffering.
Because I know that I still do
Admitting that the speaker still grapples with emotional pain.
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
Repeating the acknowledgment of the ongoing emotional struggle faced by the speaker.
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the speaker's continued emotional pain.
