how can I go home
with nothing to say
I know you're going to look at me that way
and say what did you do out there
and what did you decide
you said you needed time
and you had time
you are a china shop
and I am a bull
you are really good food
and I am full
I guess everything is timing
I guess everything's been said
so I am coming home with an empty head
you'll say did they love you or what
I'll say they love what I do
the only one who really loves me is you
and you'll say girl did you kick some butt
and I'll say I don't really remember
but my fingers are sore
and my voice is too
you'll say it's really good to see you
you'll say I missed you horribly
you'll say let me carry that
give that to me
and you will take the heavy stuff
and you will drive the car
and I'll look out the window making jokes
about the way things are
how can I go home
with nothing to say
I know you're going to look at me that way
and say what did you do out there
and what did you decide
you said you needed time
and you had time

What is the meaning behind You Had Time lyrics?
When we look at what the artist truly meant to say, Ani DiFranco's song 'You Had Time' is about the inner turmoil that one goes through when coming back home after a long trip and being interrogated about one's choices and experiences. The bull-in-a-china-shop metaphor perfectly expresses the sensitivity of the situation where one is very careful not to break anything, while the good food and the full stomach metaphors signify being happy and content. The words of the song give us a picture of deep thinking, looking back, and still feeling the warmth of being back even though there are questions and difficulties that one passed through during the time away. The You had time lyrics focus mainly on love, reflection, angst, nostalgia, and empowerment. Simultaneously the song highlights the need for self-reflection and uncertainty, love, and support, and the act of coming home. The themes in the lyrics revolve around personal reflection and relationships which might need parental supervision, yet they do not have explicit language, violence, or adult content that would be unsuitable for children. ✔️
