Sara Lynn Your beauty's asking for my heart Sara Lynn I don't know you, oh where do I start? Sara Lynn Could you be the one just for me? Sara Lynn I just want you to be with me Maybe we'll meet soon and maybe we won't, All I want from you is one single chance All I want is somebody to hold And all I want is for her to know That I will love you with all of my heart And that I've loved you right from the start All I want is to hold your hand And be the best to you, the bestest man But for now we'll exchange notes in class And when the teacher's not looking, I'll study your...face Yeah, I want you to know who I am And I want you to know that I can Be the one that you needed the most Be an example of the holy ghost Well, I'm more ready now than I'll ever be But I have so much to learn already But you can teach me just what I don't know And together we can truly thrive and grow Sara Lynn Your beauty's asking for my heart Sara Lynn I don't know you, oh where do I start?

Prism 03:46
She's got a soul that is bigger than her body Yet it's tucked beneath some jeans and a hoodie She's a bona-fide leader, with a sassy demeanor And I'm still wondering why she hasn't taken over the whole world She's got a passion for life and for people She cares deeply even when she doesn't care She's a beautiful expression of God's greater intentions And I've caught but a glimpse of it I want her to know I want her to know me But I want her to be I want her to be free I wanna be her prism Wanna shine her light extravagantly I wanna be her prism Wanna shine her light extravagantly More extravagantly She's got the manners of a lady And the heart of a child She can be a little goofy But in a way that makes her wild She's an exotic treasure She's my "x-on-the-map" She's as cute as a button She's as sweet as honey But if you step across the line She'll defend with integrity She's a confidential mystery But she's thrown a couple clues my way (ay!) I want her to know (know know know) I want her to know me (me me) But I want her to be (be be be) I want her to be free (free free) More extravagantly She's extravagant, see?

Getting crushed by my crushes And it’s hurting me, it’s hurting me Telling her all my feelings And it’s not worth it, it’s not worth it Getting crushed by my crushes And it’s hurting me, it’s hurting me Unrecip-cip-ciprocated Here I am, I’m dedicated to find someone to love ‘cause I wanna fall in love I wanna fall in love I wanna feel in love I wanna feel in love People outta relationships say it’s not worth it, it’s not worth it But I don’t know what it feels like To choose a love who chooses you too Telling myself relationships Are not worth it they’re not worth it Pesky people, lousy women Here I am, alone and thinkin’ Why I’d want one of those, but I’m not nice enough to make girls wanna leave their boyfriends And I’m not mean enough to convince them to I’m not nice enough to make girls wanna leave their boyfriends And I’m not mean enough to convince them to I’m not nice enough to make girls wanna leave their boyfriends And I’m not mean enough to convince them to Well I guess I’m nice enough to be a good girls’ fall back plan-B But I’ll be mean enough to let ‘em all fall down I wanna fall in love I wanna fall in love

Every part of you makes me smile And I don’t care But I do care a lot And every time I’m with you make me different And I don’t care But I am interested in how you do that I’m feelin’ good about this I’m feelin’ good about where this could go ‘Cause this could go somewhere And I’m feelin’ good about this I’m feelin’ good about where we could go But where are we goin’? Every laugh we share ignites fireworks So let’s use them To display a show of mirth And every conversation is a book A book of knowledge And every single one makes you more beautiful I’m feelin’ good about this I’m feelin’ good about where this could go ‘Cause this could go somewhere And I’m feelin’ good about this I’m feelin’ good about where we could go But where are we goin’?

Worthwhile 04:15
May I hold your hand and cherish you for a while? You’re my favorite person in the world, and I wanna make you smile My love for you I’ll say Is beyond what words can convey 
It’s true

 We could talk for hours and hours and hours and hours
 We could cuddle right up on the couch until our love becomes empowered I’ll forget the world exists When you lay your fingertips
 On my skin

 You’re the best thing that’s happened to me
 And I didn’t think that I could be so happy
 I’m so glad you took a chance On a loser who couldn’t dance
 I’ll make it worthwhile I’ll make it worthwhile We could slow down time and take it for a spin We could change the colors in the film until we both can win It don’t matter what we do For as long as I’m with you I’ll be okay

 You’re the best thing that’s happened to me And I didn’t think that I could be so happy
I’m so glad you heard my plea I swear I’ll be as sweet as honey
 I’ll make it worthwhile I’ll make it worthwhile Oh 
I’ll make it worthwhile Because you’re worthwhile 
Oh I’ll make it worthwhile Because we’re worthwhile

Exp. Date 03:11
I think we’re gonna be just fine I think we’re gonna do alright We’re loyal to each other and in love We’ve got God and each other and that’s enough I think we’re gonna make it last And that’s because you’re my other half We’ve got an expiration date on our minds We’ve got an expiration date and that ain’t fine Oh, but it’s easy To forget The future when we have now, woah And it’s easy When we’re in love ‘Cause we don’t care about An expiration date We’re forty-five minutes apart What’s another twelve hours? Even with the distance now we’re doing fine Even with the distance now we’re feelin’ fine I’m gonna call you all the time Whether by phone or by Skype Oh, we’ve got an expiration date on our minds We’ve got an expiration date and that ain’t fine Oh, but it’s easy To forget The future when we have now, woah And it’s easy When we’re in love ‘Cause we don’t care about An expiration date I’m gonna call you all the time But we’ve got an expiration date and that ain’t fine And I don’t know when, I don’t know when it is No I don’t know when, I don’t know when it is

Our serious long distance relationship 
Was coming to an end.
 I was tired of not being with her, but tired of callin’ her
 So I talked to her less and less.

 What good is observation?
 Oh, what good is it If you don’t say a thing? 
Cause I noticed our spark had been fading a few weeks before 
She had said anything.

 

She asked “Are you mine?” 
“Yeah, I’m totally yours.”
 I asked “Are you mine?”
 She said “I think I am., I just wanted to be sure.”

 Well, a week had gone by Nothing was getting better.
 She looked about as interested as an old man with the paper.
 I was trying to be funny, I was trying to be me.
 But “me” wasn’t working, so I questioned her integrity 

And insulted the amount of time she’d spent with her family
 And then she proceeded to scare the hell out of me
 By yelling at my face for a good 15 minutes
 And I guess I deserved it, but I had almost fainted.

 Oh, why did I say it? What did I have to prove? 
I just wanted her to care, I just wanted us to move
 Right out of this phase; for our spark to re-ignite
 And anger was new, even though it wasn’t right, and

 the passage where I could speak all that was on my mind
 was permanently closed. At that point she stopped trying, but I was trying my best.
 And I just didn’t know, so I just had to ask:
 “Are you mine?”
 “Yes, I’m yours still.” 
She asked “Are you mine?”
 I said “I think I am, But i’m not too sure anymore.” Verse 3: My heart is weary from all the false hope I’ve clung to. I dread every time that I have to come talk to you. The thought of cheating never crossed my mind,
 But now I understand why people do it sometimes, you see When people stop trying, they’ve long lost their interest.
 I thought you had lost yours a little while before I did.
 Yet ironically enough, you still wanted us together. 
And on our last night, you begged for an answer:

 
“Are you mine?
" "Are you mine?” She asked: “Are you mine?”
 “No I'm totally not!” But I love you, 
I always do. And I love you, 
I always do.

 We tried so hard, 
and look where we are. 
We tried so hard, And look where we are. We tried so hard, Now look where we are.

 Oooooo

Postmortem 04:49
Mutual Is a misunderstanding A power structure Fueled by desire 

So you gave up To see how much I care Well I hope you enjoy The show while it lasted

 Pull my strings, see what I care Pull my strings, see what I care

 Every day
I wake up bleeding From your knives They’re all shaped like words 

I get so torn up
 Oh I wish I could stab you right back But I’m better than that 
I’m better I hope

 You’re a bitch and you know it You’re a bitch and you know it

 How could you say Say those ugly things
 Things about me
 For everyone to see 
For someone who knows Knows me so deeply To say untrue things Cruel, untrue things about me

 It cuts me deep It cuts me deep It cuts me deep It cuts me deep

 I shouldn’t care 
I shouldn’t care at all
 I shouldn’t care But fuck you Oh what do I do

Make Up 04:13
It’s been a couple of months And I still think about you Every day Every day I see your face In my head It’s a fight Between the happy and the sad Between your good and your bad 
I wish I could talk to you face to face But you’re still a couple of state lines away
 I don’t care if we get back what we had
 I just wanna be friends I just wanna make up Maybe a starting point
 Would be to talk again You don’t bother me So I don’t bother you 

In my head, it’s a fight Between doing nothing And dropping a bomb

 I wish I could talk to you face to face But you’re still a couple of state lines away 
I don’t care if we get back what we had
 I just wanna be friends I just wanna make up Sure as hell miss your pretty face more than I’d like to 
Sure as hell hate the hatred that’s between us
 Where’s the closure that’s in all the movies? 
Cause it’s not here And you’re not here And I’m not here I wish I could talk to you face to face But you’re still a couple of state lines away 
I don’t care if we get back what we had
 I just wanna be friends I just wanna make up

The Talk 03:33
You’ve taught me to be open Because life is better shared And you told me to just pick something
 If I really didn’t care

 Until I knew you I wasn’t very good at decisions 
Until I knew you I wasn’t very good at life

 
I’ve learned a lot from you And you grew me for the better 
There are days where I wonder
 How I grew you too

 But I never got the chance to truly 
 Thank you for all that you’ve done That’s the talk
 The talk I wish we had

 You taught me how to love you 
With all its intricacies
 And you taught me to tell a girl that she’s beautiful And it doesn’t have to be flirty

 Until I knew you
I wasn’t very good at compliments Until I knew you I wasn’t very good at life

 
I learned a lot from you And you ruined me for the better 
There are days I remember
 How I ruined you too

 But I never got the chance to truly Thank you for all that you’ve done
 That’s the talk
 The talk I wish we had

 
Oooooo
 The talk I wish we had Oooooo The talk I wish we had

about

"Ahh, Young Love!" tells a story from start to finish. It would make the most sense, then, to listen to it all in one sitting. It's an hour long or so, which is a little long for a record, but think of it like watching an hour long TV show, like NCIS, or House of Cards, or Psych. Only it's a rom com? So more like Gilmore Girls. I digress...

I don't want to spoil or go into the story here. I will say that the album was based on a true story that happened in Isak's life from 2006-2013. Although he stays (mostly) true to the story, his songs here have been inspired by future crushes and partners that happened after the events of this album.

This album was carefully crafted in bedrooms, living rooms, and practice rooms for three years. Recording went from July 2016-March 2019, and mixing from April 2019-October 2019.
