Woody
Hayden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just sitting here wasting my time
Until you come home from your escapades
In the back yards with your friends of late

I'd be worried if you didn't do this every spring
When the grass grows and there's birds in trees
And the sun shines and you don't need me
I'm just sitting here wasting my time




Till you come home from your escapades
In the back yards with your friends of late

The tone of the song is melancholic and mellow, with a hint of resignation, which seems to convey that the subject of the song has accepted their partner's need for independence.


The song can be seen as a reflection on the balance between spending time with loved ones and having individual pursuits and interests. It highlights that people's needs for autonomy can coexist with their desire for connection with others. The lyrics showcase an understanding and empathy towards the other person's need for space and independence, without being controlling or possessive.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm just sitting here wasting my time
I'm doing nothing productive, just waiting for you.


Until you come home from your escapades
Until you come back from doing whatever you're doing.


In the back yards with your friends of late
Spending time with your friends in the backyard.


I'd be worried if you didn't do this every spring
I would be concerned if you skipped this annual tradition.


When the grass grows and there's birds in trees
This is the time when nature is in its prime.


And the sun shines and you don't need me
When the weather is nice, you don't require my presence.


I'm just sitting here wasting my time
Once again, I'm doing nothing useful.


Till you come home from your escapades
Until you return from your activities.


In the back yards with your friends of late
Hanging out with your pals outside.
