Description
WIth a very well-written song structure this piece captures a very distinct element of discipline and intricacy. The lyrics are a very strong part to the song because the song deals with the controversial aspect of "getting high". However, this song deals with a long lost lover searching for their "one that got away" scenario. A common topic, yes, but it is infused with bluesy melodies, a jumpy piano rhythm, a few falsetto's, and, most importantly, the aspect of humility.
Lyrics
I remember you from when I was a kid I used to see you at the rock club shows I knew one day I could catch your love And hide it deep down in my soul You were a brown-eyed girl with a grip on the world And it was something that I'd never seen (I ain't never seen nothin' like that) But I guess I wasn't ready to commit my life To a girl at 17 They better believe (believe) You're all mine Baby your love (your love) Is like knives You're so deep (so deep) In my mind I get high Pretty mama you are (you are) The light That I dream for (dream for) At night You start to crawl in (crawl in) Just like heroin I get high I met you again when I was 22 And I thought, "Damn, I ain't got nothin' to lose" I'm just a man in a band with a mic in his hand Just singin' and drinkin' to the blues So you took me away from a cold dark place That i'd been in for years Just me and my guitar and a backyard smoke Running from all my fears They better believe (believe) You're all mine Baby your love (your love) Is like knives You're so deep (so deep) In my mind I get high Pretty mama you are (you are) The light That I dream for (dream for) At night You start to crawl in (crawl in) Just like heroin I get high They better believe You're all mine Baby your love Is like knives You're so deep In my mind I get high They better believe (believe) You're all mine Baby your love (your love) Is like knives You're so deep (so deep) In my mind I get high Pretty mama you are (you are) The light That I dream for (dream for) At night You start to crawl in (crawl in) Just like heroin I get high
