Sometimes young people become so demotivated and inert that don't even realise what opportunities they are throwing away.

About the song
Inspired by our own wasted lives and Phil's brother (now almost 20) who is systematically pissing his life down the toilet.
Lyrics
When I was young I always wasted
The chances that life sometimes gave me
To elevate my mind to a higher plane
Passing on by the breaks they gave me
Whittling down the paths before me
Burning my bridges 'cos I'm too blind to play

I don't mind if you've got better things to do
I don't mind if it's something you can't aspire to
Take your time it's got nothing to do with love
You are mine and it's nothing you can see or touch
These days are all the same

Sometimes I dream I'll take it all back
A different road down a different soundtrack
Turning the table expect no surprises today
I never dreamt I'd always be here
Trying to gain what is lost forever
Praying for someone or something to show me the way

I don't mind if you've got better things to do
I don't mind if it's something you can't aspire to
Take your time it's got nothing to do with love
You are mine and it's nothing you can see or touch
These days are all the same
