about

“My Youth To Waste '' is a heartfelt ballad about yearning for meaningful connection- but ultimately succumbing to the hook up world that Gen Z prescribes. It speaks to how uncool it can feel to wear your heart on your sleeve, to take a risk and say what you really feel. Influences such as John Mayer, Prince and Tame Impala shine through but the originality of his vision sees these influences reflected in a whole new light.

lyrics

your eyes had looked on mine
blurred by smoke and wine
the first time you came towards me
tobacco tainted tongue
the price of being young
but old enough to yearn for better

I’ve lost the glow again
between the start and end
up the stairs into your bedroom
I’ll lead my body there
and let my soul lay bare
so please be soft with what you see

‘Cause I’m ready to be in love again
I’m ready to see the sun
finally ready to search again
But I can’t find you high or low

I’m ready to love again
I’m ready to find the one
But I’ve lost faith in beauty and grace
And i’ve got all my youth to waste

Well here I go again
putting on a show again
for me to win your favour
and when we go to bed tonight
i’ll make believe your mine
and use your breasts just like a pillow

what’s there to know my friend
i've had my time to mend
so cover me in cherry chapstick
a dehydrated kiss
Between our drunken lips
And red receipts left on our necks

I’m ready to be in love again
I’m ready to see the sun
I’m finally ready to search again
But I can’t find you high or low

I’m ready to love again
I’m ready to find the one
But I’ve lost faith in beauty and grace
And i’ve got all my youth to waste

I’ve lost the glow again
between the start and end
slowly drowning in your silhouette
you kinda smell the her
like ones that came before
but we’re old enough to yearn for more
