Eyes on the Door
Lost in the Night: Ryan Adams' Reflection on Desperation and Uncertainty
Lyrics
What did you say I was high
Questioning what someone said about being high
I can't remember I can't hide
Expressing difficulty in remembering and hiding
What did you say I was high
Repeating the inquiry about being high
What did you say I was high
Reiterating the question about being high
Try hard enough
Struggling to make enough effort
Just to get by, I know I know
Acknowledging challenges and difficulties
Oh
(Expression of realization or emphasis)
I get to thinking I wake up so cold in the night
Reflecting on waking up feeling cold at night
Hyperventilate and sigh
Describing hyperventilation and sighing
I get to thinking I get high
Reflecting on getting high
Don't know if I should be staying anymore
Uncertainty about whether to stay
Don't know if I'm even sane anymore
Doubt about sanity
I keep looking
Continuously keeping an eye on the door
My eyes on the door
Emphasizing the focus on the door
I keep looking
Repeating the emphasis on watching the door
My eyes on the door
Reiterating the focus on the door
Oh, no
(Expression of concern or surprise)
Oh ok
(Expression of agreement or understanding)
What did you say I was high?
Repeating the question about being high
What did you say I was high?
Reiterating the inquiry about being high
