#5 English song

YOUTH  Troye Sivan

What if, what if we run away?
What if, what if we left today?
What if we said goodbye to safe and sound?
And what if, what if we're hard to find?
What if, what if we lost our minds?
What if we let them fall behind and they're never found?

And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
And the stars exploding, we’ll be fireproof

My youth, my youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours

My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
What if, what if we start to drive?
What if, what if we close our eyes?
What if we're speeding through red lights into paradise?
'Cause we've no time for getting old
Mortal body, timeless souls
Cross your fingers, here we go

Oh oh oh oh
And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
And when the lights start flashing, flashing, flashing
And when the lights start flashing

My youth, my youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours

My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth is yours

-Why do I like the song?

I like "YOUTH" because this song has light melody and repeated lyrics which makes it easy for me to remember. In addition, this song tells the story of gay and the lyrics are very visual, I think that no matter what your sexual orientation is, everyone has the right to love. This society should need more respect and less discrimination.

• Review : 
  Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals . For example in test , some people are not smart but very serious and persevering , however , some people are talented but have insufficient patience and perseverance to prepare for the exam for a long time . I think I am not intelligent , but I have a sufficient patience and perseverance . No pain,no gain . if I have a strong grit for very long-term goals , I will successful one day .
