We Were Young (feat. JP Cooper)

Petit Biscuit's 'We Were Young (feat. JP Cooper)' is a nostalgic ode to the innocence and intensity of young love. The song captures the essence of youthful romance, where emotions are raw, and experiences are fresh and exhilarating. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young couple's journey, from the initial hesitation to the overwhelming realization of being in love. The imagery of staring at shoelaces to avoid eye contact and the carefree moments of laughter and tears highlight the vulnerability and excitement of young love.

The chorus, with its repetitive and reflective lines, emphasizes the protagonist's awakening to his feelings. The morning light pouring through the bedroom window symbolizes a new beginning and the clarity that comes with it. The protagonist's cautious nature gives way to the admission of guilt and love, showcasing the internal struggle and eventual acceptance of his emotions. The mention of the Daft Punk T-shirt and the drive in the car adds a personal touch, making the experience relatable and grounded in reality.

The song's bridge and outro delve deeper into the longing and desire to relive those moments. The references to Juliet and Romeo, falling in love like dominoes, and talking all night in stereo evoke a sense of timeless romance and connection. The repeated plea to 'take me back' underscores the yearning to return to a simpler, more innocent time. The song beautifully captures the helplessness and inevitability of falling in love, making it a poignant and relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of young love.
