Wayside Lyrics
And how long has it been
Did I forget to lay it down too
Stroke out in a motel
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind
In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
And how long have you known
that I forgot to lay you down too
Too much sun milk and honey
is that all that i really got?
I had so much money but not enough sense to make change
In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
Yeah
How about this
Entertaining myself
on such a selfish wish
I can't break this way though
I can't be this way though
And I feel like the same
Are you feeling the same?
Hey now
I'm a poor man
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind
In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
When I cry I don't mind if you leave me
when you leave me
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the way
Did I forget to lay it down too
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
that I forgot to lay you down too
Too much sun milk and honey
is that all that i really got?
I had so much money but not enough sense to make change
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
Yeah
Entertaining myself
on such a selfish wish
I can't be this way though
And I feel like the same
Are you feeling the same?
I'm a poor man
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind
when I had to call on you
For just a little
When I cry I don't mind if you leave me
when you leave me
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the way

Great song. Can't really decipher a meaning, personally... I know there's sometrhing there, but I'm stuck for thought at the moment.
It made the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2007 countdown yesterday. :D
I can't really get a meaning out of it either. But my best guess is it that it's about a guy that is or was with a girl that didn't really care for him. And that he had been with her so long that he didn't realise he just wanted the relationship to end as indicated by the lyric "I had so much money but not enough sense to make change". Thats just my thought, probably not right but oh well haha. Good song anyway
it's obviously about a break up. She has left him probably because he's touring a lot and seeing other women. He didn't see it coming and thought he wouldn't care if it did. but now that it has happened, he's crushed. He felt rich and on top of the world and now he feels poor and alone
"Wayside" meaning side of the road or the gutter..
Therefore the song must be about a girl that found him in the gutter and picked him up?
"You caught me by the way " means he didn't actually fall in.. but he was close?
