A hurricane,
self help into this evacuation from this
You never meant to,
You never meant to...
Call me...
Call me...
Answer...
Do you think that this could work out?
Do you think you could come around?
Do you think that this could work out again?
I don't...
I don't want to be forgotten,
While you're putting all your time in,
Into the things that don't mean anything to me,
It's too bad,
and it's even sadder,
I'm losing everything that I thought,
This was a lost cause,
It was and I never knew it.
I never knew it,
Try 'em on and let 'em go,
It might be best to just forget,
You walk away,
You know you're better off to,
Your better off to...
Call me...
Call me...
Answer...
Do you think that this could work out?

I don't want to be forgotten,
While you're putting all your time in,
Into the things that don't mean anything to me,
Wasting faster than the hourglass,
its slow but I'm not ready,
not okay,
Don't make this harder than it already had to be,
Call me...
Call me up...

The lyrics to "Tool Sheds and Hot Tubs" appear to be about a failed relationship, as the singer mourns a loss and questions whether they could have fixed things. The singer seems to view their relationship as a "lost cause" and feels that their former partner is ignoring them in favor of "things that don't mean anything" to the singer. The first line of the song seems to suggest that the partner has moved on to a new relationship and is no longer interested in the singer's emotional needs.
The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency and frustration on the singer's part as they try to reach out to their former partner, asking them to call back and musing on whether there is any hope for a future together. The singer feels themselves slipping away, wasting time while their former partner invests in other things, and they seem to be struggling with the knowledge that their relationship is over, even as they hold onto some flicker of hope that it could be rekindled.
Overall, the lyrics to "Tool Sheds and Hot Tubs" touch on themes of heartbreak, regret, and the frustration of trying to rebuild a broken relationship.
