Lyric discussion by jack_snorris 

i cannot believe that of all the comments on this song, someone has yet to inquire about a reference to the Hemmingway novel "The Sun Also Rises". Especially since Ryan Adams has included some literary references in his past songs. The whole book is about love, and the damages that it can cause. I believe the song pertains to the book in some way but i can't quite put my finger on how. The second verse could certainly be written to Lady Ashley (for those of you who have read it), but i can't figure out the first half of the song...

An error occured.
