Only the Young Lyrics

Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life
There in the distance
Losing its greatest pride
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time

And there were people there
Lovely as you'd ever care
Tonight, baby, you can start again
Laughing in the open air
Have yourself another dream
Tonight, maybe we can start again

Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own

Mother, it's cold here
Father, thy will be done
Thunder and lightning are crashing down
They got me on the run
Direct me to the sun
Redemption, keep my covers clean tonight
Baby, we can start again

Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own

And the sun will shine again
And the sun will shine again
Are you looking for a sign?
Or are you caught up in the lie?

Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own

Only the young can
Lost when the wind blows
Only the young can
Lost when the wind blows

What is the Meaning of Only the Young?

Ah, to be young and restless! Brandon Flowers spins a yarn of youthful rebellion and the endless quest for redemption. "Only the Young" serves up a cocktail of nostalgia and optimism, where every chord is a reminder that starting over isn’t just possible—it’s practically a rite of passage for the sprightly souls. The song dances around the idea that youth isn’t just about age; it's about feeling bold enough to chase the winds of change, even when they're blowing a gale. So, lace up your adventure boots, kiddos! It seems life’s storms are less about getting soaked and more about learning to dance in the rain.
