You Said
Echoes of Longing: Ryan Adams' Poetic Tale Unveiled
Lyrics
You said, gimme what you can
You requested whatever I can give
Standing on the corner, diamonds on your hand
Standing on a street corner, adorned with diamonds on your hand
Underneath the bridge
Below a bridge
Where the flowers roam, oh, you said
Where the flowers grow freely; oh, you expressed
You said, can you hear my voice
You stated, asking if I can hear your voice
I hear it rumble the trees by the porch
I can hear it causing the trees near the porch to shake
As the lying sways
As the falsehoods sway
In the back of your mind for days
In the recesses of your mind for days
Obsession that can't break through
An intense preoccupation that cannot overcome
Obsession and the blues
Obsession and feelings of sadness
Depression, make you choose
Depression, forcing you to make a choice
A new one, a new love
To embrace something new, a fresh love
You said, nothing then you leave
You said nothing and then departed
Leave and fire, looking at me
Leaving and igniting, staring at me
I've been trying to live
I've been attempting to live
And now I've been trying to lose
And now I've been striving to lose
You said, maybe you'll let it go
You suggested perhaps letting go
We can be friends in a few years or so
We could be friends in a few years or so
You departed to me
You left me
Staring at my feet, oh, you said
Staring at my feet; oh, you mentioned
Obsession that can't break through
An intense preoccupation that cannot overcome
Obsession and the blues
Obsession and feelings of sadness
Depression, make you choose
Depression, forcing you to make a choice
A new one, a new love
To embrace something new, a fresh love
A new one, a new love
