Wasting My Young Years was released on June 16, 2013 via Metal & Dust Recordings. Lead vocalist, Hannah Reid, said that the track was written after a breakup and is about the pain of investing time in someone who squanders it. Directorial duo Bison built a rig housing hundreds of pinhole cameras in a 360 degree loop. By exposing an entire roll of 35mm film in a single instant they were able to capture the panoramic images that make up the video for Wasting My Youth,
Lyrics:
[Instrumental break] [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 You'll never know what was there to be Fine [Chorus: London Grammar] And I'm wasting my young years It doesn't matter if I'm chasing old ideas 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 [Verse 2: London Grammar] Don't you know that it's only fear? And I wouldn't worry, you have all your life I've heard it takes some time to get it right [Chorus: London Grammar] I'm wasting my young years It doesn't matter if I'm chasing old ideas 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
