Wasting My Young Years
London Grammar Lyrics

You crossed this line
Do you find it hard to say it with me tonight?
I've walked these miles but I've walked 'em straight lined
You'll never know what was like to be
Fine

I'm wasting my young years
It doesn't matter if
I'm chasing old ideas
It doesn't matter if

Baby
We are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
Baby
Oh we are
We are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years

Don't you know that it's only fear
I wouldn't worry, you have all your life
I've heard it takes some time to get it right

I'm wasting my young years
It doesn't matter if
I'm chasing old ideas
It doesn't matter if

Baby
We are
We are
Baby I'm wasting my young years
Baby
We are
We are
Baby I'm wasting my young years

I don't know what, you want
Don't leave me hanging on
Don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on

A bit late but you seem young enough to me although you’re probably older than me 😅. But my life was unfortunate enough that I had to mature at a very young age as I had a very rough childhood, And for many of those “young years” all I wanted to do was hurt the people who took my childhood from me, I guess that’s why my friends call me a big kid😅 all I can say is I wish I had the childhood and young years to waste in a way that made me happy. Then it wouldn’t have been a waste of time because I would’ve had memories like other kids from their childhoods and young adolescence years, It’s very difficult to do life wrong, as I said my past is very dark and some of the things I’ve had to do and see I wouldn’t wish upon anyone and even still I don’t think I’ve done life wrong I just didn’t have a head start you’ve only wasted your time if you convince yourself you have you have to turn it into something or use it as motivation for your future. Anyway enough rambling hope this helps if you ever see it😅

At 46 just been given the devastating news that I have cancer and have 18 months maybe 2 years. Love London Grammer and this track seems so poignant at the moment , luckily when I look back over my life I feel that I’ve wasted very little of my young years . My advice to anybody young would be put down your phones. Instead, see, love and laugh together with your friends and family’s (COVID permitting). Be good to each other , cut out negative thoughts , don’t judge people you don’t know and don’t be judged by people that don’t know you. Life can short but a life lived well is never wasted, I might not be here for much longer but I hope the memories of the fun and adventures I’ve shared will go on for a long time. On the positive I’ve booked to see Hannah and the guys in Manchester in November (🤞illness and COVID willing) can’t bloody wait.

I would say that about most of their music. It fills the same niche for me as Enya - soft, melodic, and haunting.

Which is kind of weird for me as someone who bleeds hard and progressive rock.

Been working a 40 hour per week desk job and been listening to this song since it came out in 2013. I was 25 and feeling that I was indeed wasting my young years but thought that it would all be worth it in the future. Didn't happen. Now that I'm close to 31 I look back and all I see is time either spent studying, working student jobs or just working. I wish I had done a lot of things differently , I wish I would have travelled more, met more new people, spent less time behind a desk or a computer thinking "I still have time to live my life, I just have to finish this paper, this episode, this 100000000th whatsapp message, this final exam". Before you know it time is up and you realise you've spent your entire 20s hoping for a perfect future instead of enjoying the great present. I hope at least one person reads this and decides to go out more, do a little bit more of what they really like and enjoy their young years while they still have the opportunity to.

I hope things got better and keep going well for you. I saw someone write that you don't waste your years, you learn from them. I hope you found the things you can find peace in to make the present a place you will want to live in. I think you're still so young, and even if the opinion of a stranger might not amount to much, I still hope you keep finding things within yourself and your experiences to hold on to and keep on living forward because you really don't waste everything if you can learn something or the other from them. Godspeed, I wish you well.

My dude you’re only 24, what do you mean ‘it turns out I was wasting my young year’ you’re still very young yourself! I always find it so interesting at how unaware we are of our youth until it’s gone. When you’re a child you overlook the nativity and bliss kids have, when you’re a teen it’s your energy and availability.

43 yo here , I have a message for all the youngsters : you don t waste your time , you learn , through pain for the most of you . Do not give up , one day you ll understand . Try to be the best of yourself , ask for help if needed , it is worth it . Don T be afraid to move on and come back if needed . You ll never start over from zero .
Take care kids . Life is a trip , not a destination .

I've been listening to this a lot lately, thinking. I just turned 40 and after 13+ years of unhappy marriage I'm asking myself the exact message of this song. What the hell have I been doing with my life? Well...trying to please someone who can't be pleased and losing myself in the process. 3 kids later I think- if I walk away I might be resigning myself to being alone for the rest of my life. But would that be so bad after enduring so much emotional abuse and humiliation? Still trying to figure it all out. I sacrificed everything and gave everything. And all I have are regrets to show for it.

The Patriot

My best wishes are with you may God give you happiness for the rest of your life.

Tough call. Don't be so hard on yourself. You have produced 3 beautiful children into this world and that's no easy thing. Stay strong. We are entering a whole new world very soon and you will see the true reason why you were here on this earth. Things will get better xx

That's absolutely heartbreaking but you really are not the only one. Remember your children will grow up and move on so you must look after yourself now. DO NOT blame yourself for this situation.

@Xen Uno Live wise I have heard Lisa G, Elizabeth Fraser, Florence W, Hannah R, Marina , Tori Amos, Natalie Merchant , Joan Baez. My favs Lisa (1980's/90's) and Joan Baez.
But we all have our own favorites . I am English and I think the late great Sandy Denny is my fav English vocalist. But the younger generations (u35) are not really aware of her sadly.

I think the feeling of wasting your time is permanent in a society that compares everything. Social Media has had huge pressure on all of us and make us think everybody has a better life than us.
Sit down, write all the things you are proud and thankful for and look back at your life with love. If not, then write the things you want to do/accomplish and start changing your routines.

It's worth it.

I don't find this song depressing.....I just find it comforting honestly. It reminds you how alive you really should be feeling, old or young. How good it feels to be young, to have your first heartbreak, your first love, and your first understanding of how the world really works. I like it.

As someone who is 25 and sits in a chair at a desk 5 days a week when people my age are traveling and living life, this song hits too close to home. Is this the top? Is this where I am supposed to be in my life? Yes the money is good, but money doesnt buy happiness. Especially if i have a ball and chain that is this full time job.

mackeynyg

Ball and chain exactly

Kelsea Houser

You can always make money, but you can’t always get time to experience life. I went on many travels with what I had left in the bank without (mostly) a worry cause I know I’d make more money but I’d never make up that lost time and life experience, and to me that’s all that matters. Yeah the older you get that harder is becomes to take those spontaneous eff-it why not trips, (so for godsakes take FULL advantage of it when you are young) but you still have the choice to say eff it to things that won’t bring you new experiences, regardless of what it may be.

Affreuse est la sensation de vouloir faire quelque chose dans sa vie, sortir, rencontrer des gens, faire ses expériences mais ne pas pouvoir car on est trop timide et on ne rentre pas dans la norme. Cette sensation d'avoir constamment un poids sur le coeur, comme si on agissait mal mais l'on ne pouvait rien y faire. Dans un sens, ce qui me fait le plus de mal, c'est qu'en écoutant cette musique je me rends encore plus compte d'à quel point je gâche ma jeunesse, sans pouvoir remédier à cela. Je ne pense pas être le seul que cela touche et j'espère que tous ceux dans la même situation que moi pourront vivre leur vie sans regret et saisir toute chance qui se présente.

edit: la vie ce sont des hauts et des bas, si vous êtes coincés dans cette situation, courage, ce ne sera pas simple d'en sortir mais lorsque ce sera le cas, que vous serez libéré de tout tracas, vous verrez à quel point la vie offre des possibilités extraordinaires. Soyez vous-mêmes, dîtes ce que vous voulez, quand vous le voulez, soyez naturels. Ainsi tout paraîtra plus facile ! Lisez bien les réponses des nombreuses personnes bienveillantes en dessous, vous verrez que vous n'êtes pas les seuls à vous sentir pareil. Alors cherchez d'autres personnes dans votre situation et aidez vous mutuellement à sortir de cette cage.
Bonne journée à vous, souriez :)

On met souvent des personnes dans des cages , alors que au final , tout le monde est différent, tout le monde est fait pour quelque chose.
Entre nous si tout le monde se ressemblais ça serait tellement monotone..
Si on te met dans une case c'est tout simplement parce que , elle est tout trop petite pour toi et que tu mérites d'avoir une place beaucoup plus importante , et tu es simplement beaucoup plus intelligent..
Sois toi même , la meilleure version toi même , tu peut être timide tout en rencontrant des gens croit moi , sort de ta zone de confort petit à petit et tu verras pleins de belles choses vont s'ouvrir à toi , tu es mettre de ta vie , on en a qu'une profite en , pleins de bonne chose pour la suite !

This touches home to me. I'm 21. Very depressed. Anxiety is strong. Not doing anything really with my life at all. I just sit and drink mimosas all day long while listening to music. That's not life. I should be out doing things while I'm still in my early 20s but just the depression, drinking and insomnia makes me lay in bed all day. Ugh. I hope i break out of it because I do waste my young years.
