Too Young

## Lyric video

"**Too Young**" is the fifth track from Louis Tomlinson's debut studio album, *Walls*, released on 31 January 2020. The song is an acoustic guitar driven ballad written by Tomlinson with Jim Lavigne, John Mitchell, Justin Franks and Danny Majic, and produced by Majic with Frank E. It is written about Tomlinson's temporary breakup with his ""girlfriend"" that ultimately made the pair's relationship stronger."

## Background

Tomlinson described "Too Young" as the song "about meeting 'the one' aged 18 and, like a lot of blokes that age, not being equipped for it. I found it hard to look that far ahead. I had to make a few mistakes and go down the wrong path to realise what I had and what I thought I’d lost."

## Live performances

Louis debuted the song live for SiriusXM on 25 October 2019. The song is a regular song on the setlist of his debut solo tour Louis Tomlinson World Tour.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

We were too young to know we had everything

Too young, I wish I could've seen it all along

I’m sorry that I hurt you, darling, no, oh

We were too young

**[Verse 1]**

I've been looking back a lot lately

Me and you is all I've ever known

It’s hard to think you could ever hate me

But everything's feeling different now

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Oh, I can't believe I gave in to the pressure

When they said a love like this would never last

So I cut you off 'cause I didn't know no better

Now I realize, yeah, I realize

**[Chorus]**

We were too young to know we had everything

Too young, I wish I could've seen it all along

I'm sorry that I hurt you, darling, no, oh

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young

**[Verse 2]**

Face to face at the kitchen table

This is everything I've waited for

Now we can finally have a conversation

That I wish we could’ve had before

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Oh, I can’t believe I gave in to the pressure

When they said a love like this would never last

So I cut you off 'cause I didn’t know no better

Now I realize, yeah, I realize

**[Chorus]**

We were too young to know we had everything

Too young, I wish I could've seen it all along

I'm sorry that I hurt you, darling, no, oh

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young

**[Bridge]**

It's been two years since I’ve seen your face

I'm tryna find some better words to say

Before I let this moment slip away

'Cause now I realize

**[Chorus]**

We were too young to know we had everything

Too young, I wish I could've seen it all along

I'm sorry that I hurt you, darling, no, oh

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young (Ooh, ah)

We were too young
