Haybaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll show you my book
I only got one
You say you got two
You say you got
Too too too many things
And we don't
Come over to my house
We can hang out
Or we can go out
Its what we're good at
But aren't you
Tired tired tired of this
Me I'm just
Ready ready ready to quit
I don't think we have the time
Cause i just want to be admired
I don't think we have the time
Come over to my house
We can be friends
We can be quiet
And
Cause don't you know that I'm
Older older older than you
But i know that you're
wiser wiser wiser than me. Me
I don't think we have the time
Cause i just want to be admired
I don't think we have the time
The song "New Friends" by Haybaby is a contemplative tune that talks about the decisions we make regarding our social life. The song begins with an invitation to come over to the singer's house and show their book. The person they are talking to says they have two books, implying that they have too many things in their life, and the two of them don't need more possessions. The lyrics talk about hanging out or going out, but the singer is tired of this routine and is ready to quit.
The lyrics talk about the singer wanting to be admired and valued by their friends. The singer is aware that they are older than the person they are talking to, but they also recognize that the person is wiser than them. The song is a nod to the importance of social connections while acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining these relationships. The singer feels that they don't have the time to invest in new relationships, but also understands that they need to make an effort to build new friendships.

Come over to my house
Inviting the listener to her home
I'll show you my book
Offering to share something personal
I only got one
Acknowledging limited resources
You say you got two
Comparing and contrasting resources
You say you got
Admitting abundance of things
Too too too many things
Implying too much clutter or excess
And we don't
Emphasizing a lack of need
Need need need any thing
Stressing the lack of necessity
Come over to my house
Repeating the invitation
We can hang out
Proposing a social activity
Or we can go out
Offering an alternative activity
Its what we're good at
Expressing confidence in their mutual abilities
But aren't you
Posing a rhetorical question
Tired tired tired of this
Suggesting weariness or dissatisfaction
Me I'm just
Contrasting her own feelings with the listener's
Ready ready ready to quit
Indicating a desire to stop or move on
I don't think we have the time
Casting doubt on their ability to continue
Cause i just want to be admired
Revealing a personal desire or motive
We can be friends
Reaffirming the possibility of friendship
We can be quiet
Opening up the possibility of enjoying silence together
And
Connecting two related thoughts
Cause don't you know that I'm
Asking another rhetorical question
Older older older than you
Highlighting an age difference
But i know that you're
Contrasting the listener's wisdom with her own age
wiser wiser wiser than me. Me
Acknowledging the listener's intelligence
I don't think we have the time
Repeating previous doubt
