Lyrics
You're the tree that you can't eat the fruit from
You represent something desirable yet unattainable or out of reach.
I heard horses came to ride me away
There's a feeling of being pursued or chased by something powerful or overwhelming.
I want shade and a good place to shoot from
Desire for safety and a strategic advantage, wanting a secure position.
If it's a clock I'd be the end of the day
Being associated with the end, suggesting weariness or completion.
You know you're not the boss of me
Rejection of authority or control by another person.
You can lift your skirt, you can shake your hair
A suggestion of freedom or expression despite someone else's opinions or actions.
But I got all the time in the world
Feeling unbounded by time constraints, possessing ample time.
You're the ditch in the road where wheels keep spinning
Stuck in a repetitive or unprogressive situation.
You're the same dead cat, clawing its way back grinning
Being in a state of decay but persistently returning with a grin, suggesting resilience.
You know, you got a bad reputation and your nine lives way down the line
Having a negative reputation and little remaining opportunities or chances.
I got a jacket to put on and a hat to wear
Preparedness and readiness to face circumstances.
I wouldn't waste a gallon on you out there
Not willing to expend resources or effort on something or someone.
And I got all the time in the world
Reiteration of having plenty of available time.
A bridge is only there for you to jump off of
A bridge as a metaphor for an escape route or a way out of a situation.
And there ain't no rain clouds that are blue
There's no relief or solution in sight.
I do declare my independence baby
Asserting personal freedom and autonomy.
I shot off all my fireworks for you
A symbolic gesture or action carried out for someone else.
The river's burning and the trees are on fire
Intensity and chaos in the surroundings.
There's lots of good rubber left on these tires
Having ample resources or ability despite the chaos.
And I've got all the time in the world
Reaffirmation of having abundant time available.
Baby, you're the light that won't change, that I got stuck at
A constant and unchanging source of illumination or guidance.
You're the fan that won't work at the motel
A broken or malfunctioning element in an otherwise expected situation.
They were all out of red so I got me a blue one
A substitution or compromise made due to unavailability of preferred options.
Baby, you're always using mine, why don't you get you one
Observation of someone's reliance on another's possessions or belongings.
I know you won't go very far, you left your blonde wig in the car
Noticing someone's oversight or forgetfulness.
And I got all the time in the world
Reiteration of possessing ample time.
