A Young Understanding

Hold on tight, you’ve got a way to go
You’re terrified by the open road
In a daze, you’ve lost control
You’ve found a gang
And it makes you feel better than the other girls
And you pray they’re just boys, they’re not villains
One’s got religious tattoos, he’ll be forgiven
Let go, there is nothing more to hide
Seeing life through closed eyes
It’s just a young understanding
You know, that time is on your side
Seeing life through closed eyes
It’s just a young understanding
Cruising 'round in a friend’s new car
You’ve always know they won’t get you far
Found yourself on a downward slope
It’s okay, 'cause it makes you feel better than the other girls
And you pray they’re just boys, they’re not villains
One’s got religious tattoos, he’ll be forgiven
Let go, there is nothing more to hide
Seeing life through closed eyes
It’s just a young understanding
You know, that time is on your side
Seeing life through closed eyes
It’s just a young understanding
Torn apart, can’t you see?
They left their hearts in the 70s
Reach for a sign, reach for an understanding
Reach for a sign, reach for an understanding
Reach for a sign, reach for an understanding
Reach for a sign, reach for an understanding
Let go, there is nothing more to hide
Seeing life through closed eyes
It’s just a young understanding
You know, that time is on your side
Seeing life through closed eyes
It’s just a young understanding
Reach for a sign
It’s just a young understanding
Reach for a sign
It’s just a young understanding
