Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Youth Is Wasted On The Young. By Songfacts®.

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.
