A Lack Of Understanding -- The Vaccines

It's only been a year But it feels like a lifetime here How's it been for you?
Does it feel like a lifetime too  What would you do now in light of it all?
I don't regret it in spite of it all  If I can't convince you then nobody can I guess
I've got too much time on my hands But you don't understand  you won't understand

Would I make it right  Would it make you less uptight  What would it achieve?
What should I put up my sleeve?  What did you think would come out of it all?
That we'd quit pretending we doubted it all you don't make me nervous,
hell nobody does these days

I've got too much time on my hands But you don't understand Or you won't understand
I've got too much time on my hands But you don't understand  you won't understand

Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready for this Should I shake your hand or should I give you a kiss? Is this everything you always hoped it would be? We'll see...

I've got too much time on my hands But you don't understand  you won't understand
I've got too much time on my hands But you don't understand Or you won't understand




This song finds The Vaccines' singer and chief songwriter Justin Young brooding after the ending of a relationship.  "When you break up with someone you assume their life has changed for the better and that they're off having fun with new friends in new places. Most of the time, though, they're feeling just like you."   (songfacts)
