Pulling Leaves off Trees
Wallows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The guy you meet tomorrow, will he know where you're from?
And no what good would it do, would it do if I wait
Trying to belittle my political views
I fucking hate depression so I don't watch the news
The more aware that I am
The more I won't wanna say
The closer I get, I don't wanna see
Pick up the pace, but I don't know where to go
Give it time you're pulling me around
Got me nervous, fall and hit the ground
Seasons changing, but then again so am I
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Oh
Can I make my own opinion tell me all about it
Everyone approves of it I wanna scream and shout it
And they don't wanna see us, I think it could be a sign
Adolescence forming at the line
They move way too quick to give it time
They're all the same, but how much is really mine
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Oh
If you want it I can take it, make it a little better
I will be here when the weather changes
You'll be waiting for the letter
I won't run away this time
I've got too much to lose
I will be here when it goes on (and on)
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be
To breathe, or not to breathe?
Oh
In "Pulling Leaves off Trees" by Wallows, the singer expresses uncertainty about a romantic relationship. He wonders if he will regret letting the other person string him along and if the person he meets tomorrow will know where he's from. The singer also grapples with his own political views and frustration with depression, concluding that the more aware he is, the less he wants to say. He feels pursued and anxious, unsure where to go or how to handle his emotions. As the seasons change, so does he, and he reflects on the struggle to form his own opinions and identity in a world that often moves too quickly.
The repeated refrain of "Woah, light in the morning/Who you gonna call?/New conditions for me/Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all" suggests a sense of hope and optimism despite the uncertainty and confusion. The singer wants to hear the other person speak and perform, seeking connection and understanding. The song ends on a note of determination and commitment; the singer vows not to run away this time and acknowledges that he has too much to lose.
Overall, "Pulling Leaves off Trees" explores themes of identity, relationships, and mental health in a deeply reflective and introspective way. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the emotions conveyed are universal.

Will I regret it if I let you string me along?
Am I going to feel remorseful about allowing you to lead me on?
The guy you meet tomorrow, will he know where you're from?
Will the person you meet in the future be aware of your origins?
And no what good would it do, would it do if I wait
There's no benefit in delaying something, what would it actually accomplish?
Trying to belittle my political views
Attempting to mock or make light of my politcial beliefs
I fucking hate depression so I don't watch the news
I detest depression to a great extent, so I avoid consuming news content
The more aware that I am
The higher my level of awareness becomes
The more I won't wanna say
The more hesitant I am to express my opinions or ideas
The closer I get, I don't wanna see
I feel a reluctance to witness things as they approach nearer
Hearing footsteps coming after me
Detecting the sounds of footsteps closing in on me
Pick up the pace, but I don't know where to go
I increase my speed, but I am unsure of my destination
Give it time you're pulling me around
Please, allow me some time, because it seems that you're controlling my next move
Got me nervous, fall and hit the ground
You make me feel uncertain and anxious, like I'm going to stumble or collapse
Seasons changing, but then again so am I
The climate changes with time, and so do I, in a way
Woah, light in the morning
Wow, brightness in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Wow, whom are you going to contact?
Woah, new conditions for me
Wow, fresh circumstances for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Possibly, there is no issue, or perhaps it doesn't matter
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Wow, I want to listen to you
Woah, when you're on the stage
Wow, when you're performing on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Wow, isn't that precisely what I desire to witness or be?
Oh
Expression of emotion, pain, shock or surprise
Can I make my own opinion tell me all about it
Is it within my ability to create my own judgement on a matter? Please, explain it to me.
Everyone approves of it I wanna scream and shout it
Everyone seems to agree with it, and I have an urge to voice my support of it
And they don't wanna see us, I think it could be a sign
And they don't want to bear witness to us, I suspect that this may indicate something
Adolescence forming at the line
Puberty taking shape at the border or edge
They move way too quick to give it time
They are rushing through it without granting it enough time
They're all the same, but how much is really mine
All of them seem identical, but how much is truly mine?
If you want it I can take it, make it a little better
If you desire, I can obtain it, maybe enhance it slightly
I will be here when the weather changes
I will be present when the climate transforms
You'll be waiting for the letter
You'll be anticipating the letter's arrival
I won't run away this time
This time, I will not flee
I've got too much to lose
I have too many things to lose
I will be here when it goes on (and on)
I will be here when it persists for a long time
To breathe, or not to breathe?
Should one inhale and exhale normally, or should one not breathe at all?

Will I regret it if I let you swing me along?
The guy you'll meet tomorrow, will he know where you're from?
And no what good will it do, will it do if I wait
Trying to belittle my political views
I fucking hate depression so I don't watch the news
The more aware that I am the more I won't wanna say
The closer I get I don't wanna see
I hear footsteps coming after me
Pick up the pace but I don't know where to go
Give me time, you're pulling me around
Got me nervous, fall and hit the ground
Seasons changing but then again so am I
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call
Woah, new conditions for me may not a problem maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear you
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, is it now what I want to see
To be
Oh
Can I make my own opinion, tell me all about it
If everyone approves of it, I wanna scream and shout it
And they all wanna see us, I think it could be a sign
Adolescence forming at the line
They move way too quick to give the time
They're all the same but how much different am I?
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call
Woah, new conditions for me may not a problem maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear you
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, is it now what i want to see

This time I got too much to lose
I will be here when it goes on
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call
Woah, new conditions for me may not a problem maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear you
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, is it now what i want to see
To be
To breathe
Enough to breathe
Oh

[Verse 1]
I regret it if I let you see me alone
The guy you meet tomorrow, will he know where you're from?
And no what good would it do, would it do if I wait
Trying to belittle my political views
I fucking hate depression so I don't watch the news
The more aware that I am
The more I won't wanna say
The closer I get, I don't wanna see
Hearing footsteps coming after me
Pick up the pace, but I don't know where to go
Give it time you're pulling me around
Got me nervous, fall and hit the ground
Seasons changing, but then again so am I
[Chorus]
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya
Woah, when you're on the stage
Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Oh
[Verse 2]
Can I make my own opinion tell me all about it
Everyone approves of it I wanna scream and shout it
And they don't wanna see us, I think it could be a sign
Adolescence forming at the line
They move way to quick to give it time
They're all the same, but how much is really mine
[Chorus]
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
Woah, I wanna hear ya

Woah, isn't that what I want to see, to be?
Oh

[Chorus]
Woah, light in the morning
Woah, who you gonna call?
Woah, new conditions for me
Maybe not a problem, and maybe not at all
