[Verse 1]
She leaves her parents house around midnight
Meets her best mate at the shop, buy some cheap wine
And go to space, see the Milky Way
Get away from the teenage everyday cliché pressure
Absent on absinthe, dancing to bad synths
Saturday night ain't about romancing anymore
Just you getting lit in the queue to the dance floor

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Too many blokes are getting heavy
When a girl looks unsteady
Blisters on your bleeding soles
"Here have my boots, I'll walk you home"
He walks her straight up to the front door
As she stumbles on the floor
We all know what happens next
A bit of fun turns to regret

[Chorus]
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no (home with ya, home with ya)
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya (home with ya, home with ya)
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no (home with ya, home with ya)
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya (home with ya)

[Verse 2]
Daylight wakes her up the next morning
A foreign room where the sheets are blue, and not white
No scented candles in sight
Just a stranger on his side, says, "Cheers love for last night"
Got to go forensic, avoid the domestic
Get antiseptic and give him the polygraph eyes
Turn your head to the side and lie to the real life

[Pre-Chorus 2]
See this girl, she had a boyfriend
His name was Zack and he made her happy
But he couldn't understand
In his mind, she was a slag
When she tried to explain what happened
She was shouting at him for an hour
Crying at the top of her lungs
"Don't leave me here, you're the one I love"

[Chorus]
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no (home with ya, home with ya)
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya (home with ya, home with ya)
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no (home with ya, home with ya)
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya (home with ya)

[Bridge]
And she can't even run, she can't even walk
She slurs when she speaks
But you hear what you want when she can't even talk
She can't even run, she can't even walk
She slurs when she speaks
And she can't even talk, she can't even talk
She can't even talk

[Chorus]
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya, no
Leave it alone, mate
She doesn't want to go home with ya, home with ya

[Outro]
And she can't even run, she can't even walk
No, she can't even talk
She can't even run, she can't even walk
And no she can't even talk

Dominic Richard Harrison, who performs under the moniker of YUNGBLUD, fuses alternative rock and hip-hop while speaking up on important topics like mental illness and politics. Hailing from Doncaster, England, he cites acts like Arctic Monkeys and Eminem as influences.

Harrison grew up surrounded by music, and in several interviews he mentions that his parents placed a ukulele in his hands within days of his birth. His father owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was part of T. Rex.

Before becoming YUNGBLUD, he performed as Harrison, releasing songs like “Miss Those Days” with an upbeat acoustic flare. In his late teens, Harrison was approached by a record label, and conformed to their expectations hoping for a successful career, but he left the label in favor of making the music he truly wanted to create.
