Young Blood
5 Seconds of Summer

Remember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die
Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
Takes one to know one, yeah
You beat me at my own damn game

You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life

So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Lately, our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life

So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

You're running around and I'm running away
Running away from you, from you

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life

So I'm just a dead, man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight

About Me 2020

Hi, my name is Jakita, I was born in Christchurch and I'm currently 15. I have a few pets including 2 chinchillas, 4 guinea pig, 1 turtle and like 20 fish. I do casual work but only in the holidays. In my spare time, I like to go shopping and going to new places. I'm not sure what I want to do or study at University. My favourite subjects are science and health. I like chicken nuggets and will love anyone forever if you got me some😊😊. I like Mustang cars and Mustang horses. I do NOT like broccoli.
