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

REFRÉN

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 known that they won't get you far
Found yourself on a downward slope
It's ok 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

REFRÉN

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 70's
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

REFRÉN

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, reach for an understanding
It's just a young understanding
Reach for a sign, reach for an understanding
It's just a young understanding
