World War 24 Lyrics

Cover art for World War 24 lyrics by Ryan Adams

I think this song is about people just going through the motions.

"She don't even ask what time it is anymore Dressed up like it's World War 24 " sounds like Ryan's girlfriend is just drifting along, everything has happened before and nothing is new. But it kind of sounds like they like it that way.

"And if we get too high We'll burn this town

Oh, baby, bring me down I'm all yours I'm all yours"
sounds like their relationship wouldn't work if they weren't just kind of coasting along.
