My Favourite Waste Of Time

The singer describes being deeply attracted to someone, even while recognizing that the relationship may not be sensible or meaningful in practical terms. The repeated phrase “favorite waste of time” sounds affectionate rather than bitter: the singer knows this love may lead nowhere, but still enjoys it. The mood is playful and devoted, with a hint of recklessness.

“Day dreamin’ fool” suggests that the singer is lost in romantic thoughts and perhaps not seeing the situation clearly. Saying the loved person has their “head in the clouds” also implies dreamy distraction. Calling the person a “favorite game” presents the romance as exciting and absorbing, though it may not be serious or dependable.

The lyrics leave the relationship’s reality unclear. The singer admits it could be “meaningless,” “ridiculous,” or even “wrong,” but says they must give their love anyway, tonight and tomorrow. This could describe a knowingly temporary romance, an unwise attachment, or simply a playful exaggeration of intense affection. The song does not explain why the relationship might be wrong, so the listener is left to decide how much of the singer’s language is serious and how much is teasing.
