about

Liz and I first kissed when we were in high school and we're still having a blast. Matt Broadbent (of American Scarecrows) plays lead guitar on this one.

lyrics

I remember back in history class
Passing notes trying hard not to laugh
Ms. Troutman could tell and she’d get kinda mad
No you weren’t used to getting scolded like that

You surprised me
You might’ve surprised yourself
Straight from bible camp with a boyfriend already
By the end of senior year things had gotten pretty heavy

Young love, I could never get enough of
Young love, I never had to walk away from

I remember when we first had to split
College on different continents
It hurt like hell but it just made sense
I was never gonna get to kiss you ever again

Ever again
But we got to choose
We were only 18 but we both knew
I was never gonna spend my life not with you

Young love, was what we could get away with
Young love, I always knew that we were gonna make it

I remember at the altar with you
I never thought that you’d get so many tattoos
You’re so fucking pretty you’re so fucking cool
Every day I can’t believe that I get to be with you

It’s simple cuz it’s true
That as the years go by I’m still in love you
I can’t wait to see what we’ve still got in store
It’s been 17 years, here’s to seventeen-hundred more

Young Love
Now we’re not so young, love
But you keep my heart young, love
