Lyrics for Sassafras Roots as interpreted by kevin

Sassafras Roots Lyrics
Roaming 'round your house
Wasting your time
No obligation just
Wasting your time
So why are you alone ?
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time

I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too ?

Warding off regrets
Wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes
Wasting your time
I'm just a parasite
Wasting your time
Applying myself to
Wasting your time

I think this song means that someone is alone and they want to like be with you and waste time with you becuz since they already are its better if its with you.

As sad as it may sound, this song describes me completely. All in all, I just don't like wasting time by myself. I'd rather waste time with someone else.

Everybody prefers wasting time with a good friend than alone... is like no matter what you are doing you are always better with that person.

Definitely one of my favourite Green Day songs. I agree with what you all said. Just hanging around with your friends, wasting time...

to me, it sounds sorta like:

"hey there. I'm bored."
"oh? me too."
"well.. can I be bored with you?"
"sure, go right ahead."

This song is about being in a relationship no one wants to be in, so you both are just waisting time with eachother.

What? Eh, I guess I can see how you got that, but to me it's about a guy that just wants to hang out with a certain girl all day. He likes her so much, that they don't actually have to be doing anything to enjoy spending time with her. As of now, I can relate to it a lot. Reminds me of a certain girl....

A Sassafras is a yellowwood tree with brittle wood and aromatic leaves and bark. I don't know why the song is called that though.

I guess it could be about being in a relationship that is a waste of time but when i listen to it i think it's about being with people you enjoy spending time with....but doing nothing hehe.
