Wasting Time
Allday Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby

I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
Holding your head down
They holding your head down
Talking about living for the summer
But you're working all year round
I'm always hanging at the club
Until the bouncers say "Get out"
Wait for something good to happen
But it's happening here and now
I swear that all my friends are no good for me
I swear that all your friends see no good in me
You know, just call me when I cross your mind
We talk, you blow it like it's goldeneye
On 64, one of a kind
You tell me that there's more to life
I always said "I come/cum and go"
Life is tryna take you dancing all night long
And fuck you slow and never call back
Or maybe that's me, I just don't know
I'm taking yours, you're taking mine
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
Crosses on my neck
Crosses on my neck
'Bout to crucify that ass
You're bein' so bad, that's what you get
Mean I never see you 'round here
And I'm in here all the time
Guess you're sick of all the talking
You've been hearing all those lies
But you're sooo nice
Yeah, manners like the rich
Drinking heavy, yeah every week
My homies gone, your ripped early
Your uhhh
I hit and talk it, I don't think to mention it, uh
This year, I'm ticking off all the things I never did, nah
I still don't fight, I'm way too high
I know you don't want to leave here
I don't want to make you mine
In the corner of the room
If you ain't trippin', take a dive
We all need someone to bitch about
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh

You should do your thing
You should do your thing
Whatever that shit means
I ain't not Hugh on the movie screen
I'm such a reader from rain
So fuck this mother nature
Can't trust a bitch
Just fuck a bitch
Friends all say she'll just betray you
Like another trader and it's just within 'em
I ain't even sayin' I believe the worse
When I was young and in love
With being in love, got hurt from the things that hurt
I ain't throwin' shade
Its a sequoia tree, in the morning
Guess what, where's the beat-boys
Avoid the priest and the 'loyal' thief's
Bitches don't need nobody else
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
We're only wasting time
We're only wasting time baby
I'll see you at the finish
(At the finish line) line
We're only wasting time
Here with you, oh-woah-oh
(We're only wasting time)
We're only wasting time
(We're only wasting time)
We're only wasting time
(We're only wasting time)
We're only wasting time

(We're only wasting time)
Here with you, oh-woah-oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Wasting Time" by Allday is a contemplative and introspective look at love, relationships, and the passage of time. The repetition of the phrase "We're only wasting time" suggests a sense of futility or aimlessness in the singer's experiences with his romantic partner. The reference to meeting at the finish line implies a sense of finality or closure, as if the relationship has a definitive end point. The second verse delves into themes of mistrust, betrayal, and the difficulty of finding someone to confide in, with lines like "Can't trust a bitch / Just fuck a bitch," suggesting a jaded and cynical worldview.

The chorus of the song returns to the central theme of wasted time, and the verses explore different facets of romantic relationships and personal identity. The final stanza seems to reject the idea of searching for meaning or fulfillment through external factors (such as romantic relationships), instead urging the listener to focus on their own individual pursuits and passions. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and could be seen as either a warning against the dangers of complacency or a call to embrace the present moment.
