Youth Is Wasted On The Young Lyrics

The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.
The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.

If we stop the clock, will I reappear?
Pulled from the drift, there goes another year.
The stars align, the planets shift.
All the infinite moments that we've missed.

There's parts of me that are lost forever.
At least we're all lost together.
We all remember youth like it's dead and gone.
Like our favorite line from a forgotten song.

I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart.
A life lost in the dark.

The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.
The past is dead.
I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace.

When I reach the end, will I beg for more?
Will I look back, or step through the door?
I stand beneath a monolith.
Do you ever feel like you won't be missed?

There's parts of me that are lost forever.
At least we're all lost together.
I heard that this was only a ride.
So there's no worth in waiting for death to arrive.

All we are, is just a name, it's all we are.
Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones.
Youth sinks alone.

All we are, is just a name, it's who we are.
Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones.
Youth sinks alone.

I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart.
A life lost in the dark.

There's parts of me that are lost forever.
At least we're all lost together.

There's parts of me that are lost forever.

Youth Is Wasted On The Young

Guitarist Tom Searle told HMV.com : "It's about that scary feeling when you know you're not a kid anymore, facing the future, compromising on what you love, social pressure."

His brother, drummer Dan Searle, added: "Me and Tom started this band when we were 16 and we still get asked 'When are you going to get a real job?' It's about dealing with that all the time."

The Lost Forever // Lost Together album title is borrowed from one of this track's lyrics. Tom Searle: "It's where the inspiration for the album title comes from, everyone goes through this, fearing growing old, but at least we're going through it all together."

Murray MacLeod from the Xcerts added additional vocals to this track.
