Au/Ra
plz don’t waste my youth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know when you wake up
And you've been feelin' like that (Yeah)
You wanna pack a backpack
Run into the woods, never come back (Yeah)
I forgot to sleep, coffee's all I eat, it's a little sad (yeah)
And I feel like that
[Chorus]
So please don't waste my youth
That's all I ask of you
You can feed my heart to the wolves
Tell me lies, tell the truth
Just please don't waste my youth
[Verse 2]
I wanna drink pure adrenaline (Yeah)
Live in the moment, dance in the ocean
Foot on the pedal, yeah (Yeah, yеah, yeah)
Go full Augustus, mouth full of chocolate
Hand me thе scissors, spill my secrets and open up
We might regret it in time
Guess this is growin' up
[Chorus]
So please don't waste my youth
That's all (That's all) I ask (I ask) of you
You can feed my heart to the wolves
Tell me lies, tell the truth
Just please don't waste my youth
[Post-Chorus]
Don't waste my youth, youth
Don't waste my youth, youth
Don't waste my—
[Bridge]
We might regret it in time
Guess this is growin' up (Up, up, up)
Guess this is growin' up!
[Chorus]
So please don't waste my youth
That's all (That's all) I ask (I ask) of you
You can feed my heart to the wolves
Tell me lies, tell the truth
Just please don't waste my youth
[Post-Chorus]
Don't waste my youth
(Don't waste my) youth
Don't waste my youth, youth
[Outro]
(Youth) Hand me the scissors, spill my secrets, and
(Don't waste my) youth, youth

What have the artists said about the song?
When you turn 18, you’re supposed to have figured out what you want from life, but that’s not how it works! Instead of enjoying the time I had as a teenager, I was plagued with the worry of being successful enough. In the music industry you’re expected to handle the expectations that people have for...
What have the artists said about co-writing the song with CJ Baran?
I loved working on this track with CJ! He also did a previous single off my EP, “Bite Marks”. I love his production style, I love his brain, and he’s so fun to collaborate with. I think you can really feel that in every moment of the song when you hear it.

What have the artists said about the music video?
This is by far the most candid video i’ve ever gotten to film. We ran around London the whole night like crazy ppl. I got my phone stolen. Tears were cried. Mascara was reapplied. But we got there in the end so HUGE ty to my cast and crew for being SICK and making this happen!!!
