Live While We're Young Lyrics

Hey girl I'm waiting on ya, I'm waiting on ya
Come on and let me sneak you out
And have a celebration, a celebration
The music up, the windows down

Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool and we know it too
Yeah, we'll keep doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young
(Whoa) And live while we're young

Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young

Hey girl it's now or never, it's now or never
Don't over think just let it go
And if we get together, yeah get together
Don't let the pictures leave your phone, oh

Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young
(Whoa) Wanna live while we're young

Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young

And girl, you and I, we're about to make some memories tonight
I wanna live while we're young
We wanna live while we're young

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young

Crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young

Young
Wanna live while we're young
Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young

Don't believe that it's about sex? The first verse could have been about a boy trying to ask a girl to sneak out to a party but then they say windows down. Why would they say windows down? Doing what we do? I think about doing the do.

I don't know what pretending like we're cool means.

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy till we see the sun I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love And never, never, never stop for anyone Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young (Woah) And live while we're young The chorus means: lets get it on all night. We just met but let have sex like we're in love even though we're not. We won't stop even when the phone rings or some kind of distraction. Tonight we're going to get some (sex) before we get to old and need some viagra

To all the little 1D fans who don't think it's about sex, go to your parents and have the sex talk with them. Please.

@coolioangel im a big one direction fan and i dont think its about sex i think its about being young and have a good time

Cover art for Live While We're Young lyrics by One Direction

This song is obviously about teenagers and younger taking advantage of being young and having so many possibilities, and being..... well, young!!

This was the very first 1D song I listened to. I was not expecting a song about sex. :|

ITS NOT ABOUT SEX OK

Cover art for Live While We're Young lyrics by One Direction

It's completely about sex. Get some means have sex. Simple as that.

Song Meaning

The whole song isn't about sex thou. It's about being young. And sex is known to happen when you are young. That and drugs and drinking lol

ya and ur one of the people who look for that type of stuff in music. we live in the 21st century get over it.

When someone says they get some it means sex.

Cover art for Live While We're Young lyrics by One Direction

me and my friend were thinking; this song doesn't have to be about, well, you-know-what. so we decided to give you our interpretation, this is for all the young directioners:

"Hey girl I’m waiting on ya, I’m waiting on ya Come on and let me sneak you out" this is about a guy coming to his friends house to sneak her out so she could get a present for her parents anniversary

"And have a celebration, a celebration The music up, the windows down" this is them being excited about getting out to get the present

":Yeah, we’ll be doing what we do Just pretending that we’re cool and we know it too Yeah, we’ll keep doing what we do Just pretending that we’re cool, so tonight" this is them just being them

"Let’s go crazy, crazy, crazy ’til we see the sun I know we only met but let’s pretend it’s love And never, never, never stop for anyone Tonight let’s get some and live while we’re young Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and live while we’re young Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Tonight let’s get some and live while we’re young" they are just being crazy until the sun - as they are out and buying a present, they aren't going to stop cus they know what they are going to get for their parents anniversary. i know we only met but lets pretend its love means that even tho they just met the present (a puppy) they are going to pretend that they love it. (but they eventually do) tonight lets get some means they are going to get a present - a PUPPY!! and now they are just gonna live while they are young.

"Hey girl it’s now or never, it’s now or never Don't over-think just let it go And if we get together, yeah, get together Don’t let the pictures leave your phone" Zayn here is saying that the girl better hurry up and choose which puppy, hes telling her not to over think it. and if they get the puppy, she better not let the pictures leave her phone.

"Yeah, we’ll be doing what we do Just pretending that we’re cool, so tonight" they are just being them

-repeat chorus-

"And girl, you and I We’re about to make some memories tonight" they are making memories about the puppy tonight

"I wanna live while we’re young We wanna live while we’re young" all they wanna do is live while they are young

-repeat chorus-

lots of them wanting to live while they are young

there you go; a really sweet story about a guy helping his friend - who just happens to be a girl- to get a present for her parents anniversary :) xxx wisdoms_daughter xxx

My Interpretation

I like the version about sex better.

Here is some advice for One Direction. If you want to sing about sex. Make mature music and make sure your fanbase 15 and up not 5 to 15. When parents here this song, it's going to be so funny.

they have older fans as well (im 20 soon) and i think they're trying to break out from the 'kids boyband' image with the new album and yeah they want to sing about what they are through which is sex as well so i dont see a reson why. if i had a kid i would deffinately not let him listen to them haha :) i know your post was old but just saw it now :)

Hnestly think SOME of you all our a bit too much. Look ''these kids'' have their own minds the guys wrote the song about having fun and yes the ''get some'' part is about sex but they can't control who listens to them. They didn't know how big their music does that. PLUS they don't sing it for little kids, they sing for teenagers. The wild ones of kids. The ones that like having fun and being free and being young and ''getting some'' and it seems like some of you can't control your kids but don't blame it on 1D or anyone else. If anyone's to blame it's you. Music is music. Doesn't mean they bad people, they are teenage boys themselves. One of them is in his early 20s thou. But that ain't a big deal. So grow up! Please!!!!

My Opinion

Honestly* sorry typo

I*

Btw I'm not perfect at typing lol

are*

They're teenage boys, what can you expect? All they think about is sex and what's for tea!
