Lyrics
I woke up in the hayloft, a rooster on my chest,
Waking up in the hayloft with a rooster on the chest symbolizes a rustic, possibly rural setting.
And I swear he had said to me
The rooster seems to convey a message about love not being dead but still young.
Love ain't be dead, but love is still young
Expressing a lack of wisdom and physical strain, referring to personal challenges.
I've never been very wise, threw my back out last night
Attempting the impossible, metaphorically moving a hill for a better view, possibly for someone special.
When i tried to move the hill
Running recklessly and thoughtlessly through the woods late at night.
Up for a better view of you, yeah, one close to you
Expressing a yearning and waiting for someone special, suggesting a longing for connection.
I've been running drunk and stupid
Passing time and coping with the absence of a loved one, facing monotony and boredom.
Through the woods late at night
The speaker is involved in a creative endeavor, carving a masterpiece out of a stump, symbolizing artistic expression.
And I've been waiting for you sweet darling, yeah
Despite efforts, the speaker feels unable to capture the essence of the desired outcome.
I'm just trying to pass the time
Communicating with inanimate objects, seeking a transformation akin to turning water into wine.
Cause it's another boring day since you've gone
Expressing a desire to spend time with a special person who is always on the speaker's mind.
I spent all day carving a masterpiece out
Repetition of running drunk and stupid, emphasizing a sense of escapism or coping mechanism.
Of a stump, it was you
Reiterating the waiting and passing time theme, highlighting the mundane nature of the speaker's days.
But I didn't have the touch to make it the way I want
The speaker acknowledges that life has become dull and tedious since the absence of the special person.
So I've been talking to sun-warped rubber buckets
Continuing the theme of yearning and waiting, emphasizing the impact of the absence on daily life.
"Turn your water into wine
Expressing a sense of frustration and helplessness in making life meaningful without the special person.
So I could spend my nights with the loveliest girl on my mind
Repetition of the desire to spend time with the loved one, highlighting the emptiness in the speaker's life.
I've been running drunk and stupid
Reiteration of the coping mechanism of running drunk and stupid, emphasizing its significance.
Through the woods late at night
Expressing a continued waiting and passing time theme, reinforcing the sense of monotony.
And I've been waiting for you sweet darling, yeah
Repetition of waiting for the special person, underscoring the impact of their absence on the speaker's life.
I'm just trying to pass the time

Cause it's another boring day since you've gone
Emphasizing the persisting boredom and monotony since the departure of the loved one.
I've been running drunk and stupid
