Young and foolish
Journey of Youthful Dreams: The Dulvertons' Timeless Tale
Lyrics
I remember the time we sat by the window
Reflecting on a past moment when they sat by a window
Talking about the things we were gonna do
Discussing future plans and aspirations
We where young and foolish then
Describing their youthful and naive state at that time
And to the beat if the drum my heart was racing
Expressing excitement and intense emotions, possibly love
And my live for you is all I'm chasing down
Conveying strong commitment and pursuit of love
Like a lion to his prey
Using a metaphor of a lion chasing its prey to emphasize determination
We put the pedal to the metal in my first car
Describing a shared adventurous experience in the speaker's first car
And for the first little while we didn't go far but that
Initially not traveling far, indicating the beginning of their journey
Was just the start
Highlighting that their initial experiences were just the start of something bigger
We never hid the past but we didn't look back
Acknowledging the past without dwelling on it
And the stories that we told they where always a laugh
Emphasizing that their shared stories were always enjoyable
You are the one for me
Affirming the deep connection with the person being addressed
And now I'm leaving on a train right outta town
Announcing the speaker's departure from town on a train
But don't you worry I'm coming back for you in time
Reassuring that the speaker will return for the person in due time
And we'll go far away on a summers day
Envisioning a future journey together on a summer day
Counting the miles from home
Quantifying the distance traveled, perhaps metaphorical for life's journey
We got nothing to lose everything to gain
Expressing a fearless attitude towards the changes ahead
We're ready for this change
Readiness and anticipation for a transformative phase in life
The sound of other people couldn't break us apart
Asserting that external influences won't break their bond
Knew we had it good even right at the start
Appreciating the goodness in their relationship from the beginning
We where going
Stating they were facing challenges together
It alone
Emphasizing independence in their journey
And the feeling that we had never faded away
Describing enduring feelings that never fade away
Always had a vision of a better day
Having a consistent vision for a better future
You and I
Reaffirming the meant-to-be nature of their relationship
We're meant to be
Repeating the departure motif, emphasizing commitment
And now I'm leaving on a train right outta town
Reiterating the promise to return for the person
But don't you worry I'm coming back for you in time
Reassuring continuity of the relationship despite physical separation
And we'll go far away on a summers day
Envisioning a future journey together on a summer day (repeated)
Counting the miles from home
Quantifying the distance traveled, reinforcing life's journey metaphor
We got nothing to lose everything to gain
Expressing a fearless attitude towards the changes ahead (repeated)
We're ready for this change
Reiterating readiness and anticipation for a transformative phase
And now I'm leaving on a train right outta town
Repeating the departure motif, indicating determination
But don't you worry I'm coming back for you in time
Reiterating the promise to return for the person
And we'll go far away on a summers day
Envisioning a future journey together on a summer day (repeated)
Counting the miles from home
Quantifying the distance traveled, reinforcing life's journey metaphor
We got nothing to lose everything to gain
Expressing a fearless attitude towards the changes ahead (repeated)
Nothing to lose everything to gain
Reiterating readiness and anticipation for a transformative phase
We got nothing to lose everything to gain
Emphasizing the positive outlook on the changes ahead
We're ready for this change
Concluding the song with a strong affirmation of readiness for change
