about

I wrote and recorded this shortly before the birth of my daughter, and I quite liked the idea of keeping the original vocal - it's already six years old, and there's a time capsule vibe to it already that isn't there when I do the vocal fresh. The original demo went on a lot longer and turned into U2, which I'm sure you'll agree probably wasn't necessary.

lyrics

If I knew then what I know now
I'd do things differently, and how
youth is wasted on the young
miss the moment and it's gone
what you need slips through your hands
when you're making other plans

All the things I've said and done
I'd take back every one
youth is wasted on the young
miss the moment and it's gone
what you need slips through your hands
when you're making other plans
