Lyrics
[Verse 1] 4 AM, blank TV screen Inside voice, the need to scream The boards they creak, the wood it moans If these walls could share the things they know

Oh, I had to let you go Leave you alone, this broken home

[Chorus] You gave us so much You believed in us and we broke your trust We made for the coast and in the wrong hands You were bruised, disposed

Oh, please try and understand It was young love learning its place Running away

[Verse 2] Goodnight moon, goodnight Earth This picture screams a thousand words This portrait shows an unhappy man Who did all he could, all he can

[Chorus] You gave us so much You believed in us and we broke your trust We made for the coast and in the wrong hands You were bruised, disposed Oh, please try and understand It was young love learning its place Running away

[Bridge] Running away Running away Running away

Background
Sanchez said, "Young Love is a song about our house. My wife and I left our country home to live in Brooklyn, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to sell it so we decided to rent it out. The house is very important to the Coheed DNA. We wrote No World For Tomorrow in it; we wrote Year of the Black Rainbow and both The Afterman records there, and I’m pretty sure I actually wrote "You Got Spirit, Kid" when we got back to the house as well. But we found out after a year of living in Brooklyn that the people renting out our house weren’t actually in it—they didn’t exist. They were in fact a ghost family, and our house had been turned into a cannabis farm for growing marijuana. So the house we were preparing to move back into with our son had now been destroyed, and we had to pick up the pieces and put the house back together. I wrote this song as sort of an apology to the house, because it was such an important place for me and I left it in the wrong hands. That’s kind of why I approached the music in that sort of washy way. It feels very lonesome, and that’s because we left our house alone with the wrong people. Everything got handled eventually, and we moved back in there for a year or so, but in August we actually moved back to the city because we missed living there. The house is still out there though, and we’ll figure out what we’ll do with it, I’m sure."
