Wasted Hours Lyrics

Cover art for Wasted Hours lyrics by Arcade Fire

This song got me the first listen through of the album. I had to rewind it multiple times to really listen to what was actually said, but also listen to such a great song.

I believe it's a man thinking about the life he had up to now, right before or after his divorce is finalized. He's thinking about the wasted hours he spent on her, but she will move on to another man quick.

I guess that's how I interpret the song. Everything is perfect in this song, especially the strings and organ.
