“Wasting My Young Years” is a single off of London Grammar’s debut album If You Wait. It’s about the aftermath of an affair, and wondering if one has wasted time with a infidelious partner.
It has charted at #2 in France, and #31 in the UK.
[Verse 1: London Grammar]
You crossed this line
Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight?
I've walked these miles, but I've walked them straight lined

It doesn't matter if, maybe, we are, we are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
Maybe, we are, we are
Maybe I'm wasting my young years
[Outro: London Grammar]
I don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on
I don't know what you want
Don't leave me hanging on
