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 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 nothin' more to hide

Seein' life through closed eyes, it's just a young understanding

You know that time is on your side

Seein' life through closed eyes, it's just a young understanding

Cruisin' round in a friend's new car

You've always known 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 nothin' more to hide

Seein' life through closed eyes, it's just a young understanding

You know that time is on your side

Seein' 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 nothin' more to hide

Seein' life through closed eyes, it's just a young understanding

You know that time is on your side

Seein' 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
