If You Wanna Lyrics
Well, I don't wanna wake up in the mornin',
But I've got to face the day.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
I don't wanna do things independently,
But I can't make you stay.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
Well, I don't wanna see you with another guy,
But the fact is that I may.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
We'll give it just another couple of months or so,
And then you'll be okay.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
All alone, all alone!
I, I am on my own.
Alone, all alone.
I, I am on my own.
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
But I've got to face the day.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
But I can't make you stay.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
But the fact is that I may.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
And then you'll be okay.
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say.
I, I am on my own.
Alone, all alone.
I, I am on my own.
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
It's alright if you wanna come back!
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright!
It's alright if you wanna come back to me!

I love this song so much. The Vaccines are amazing, especially live :) I think the lyrics are pretty obvious, he's broken up with somebody but wants them back, his friends keep trying to cheer him up and telling him that he'll get over it but he doesn't want to listen to them because he misses the person so much and his friends seem like nothing compared to them.
Oh wow, no one except maybe one person has made their own interpretation? Well I think the song is saying that he's trying to get over a girl but if she wants to come back to him then it's alright and they can get back together but chances are that's not going to happen. He claims that everyone is telling him to get over her and he's emphasizing that he 'doesn't like them as much' as this girl he loves/likes/whatever. I can really, really relate to this song, especially in my current situation.
I've been waiting for someone to add this song for ages, and waiting for the album for longer. First heard it September last year and loved it straight away. I put this song on a CD for my sister when she left last year, and she came back! I love how it is pretty much a heart-broken-break-up song but with such a happy, upbeat tune. It's so catchy!
I really like this song because of how peppy it is. The beginning starts out with how all his friends want him to forget about her, but he says he doesnt like them as much.
Justin Young (Vaccines' frontman) said this about "If You Wanna" "This was the first song we wrote for the record. Before this we were more esoterical in nature. This convinced us to become a pop band."
