i think this song is about heroin addiction. i made an account just to comment this, lol.

Every day I love her a little bit more A little bit more, a little bit more And she loves me the same ------he's using a girl to describe heroin. he gets more and more addicted, but of course, heroin remains the same.

Baby if ya wanna get low Baby if ya wanna get high It makes no sense at all ------when you get high on heroin, people call it getting low.

I saw red I saw red I saw red One more secret lover that I shot dead -------i read something on here that said shooting up h and seeing red means you fucked it up, and thats what bradley's singing about. i've heard of some heroin turning brownish/red like blood when it's cooked down.

Every day I wake up, just a little bit more feelin' like a dog in the yard Because it's just how we are And every day I wonder if it's over When I wake up I realize that it not And I break down the wall --------a day not doing heroin "wake up just a little bit more" can make you sick "feeling like a dog in the yard cause thats just how we are"

You say it's black but I can't believe you And if I say it's white say I'm just trying to decieve you And baby, I'm aware of the high and the low And I'll be waiting in the middle But I just lack control ---------heroin can be white (china) black (tar)... he's aware of the highs it'll give him either way, bc he's a heroin addict and just 'lacks control'

Baby if ya wanna get low Baby if ya wanna get high It makes no sense at all I saw red I saw red I saw red One more secret lover that I shot dead

Girls don't go crazy Girls don't go crazy Oh girls don't crazy when the men use you oh Women hold your men tight -------"girls" dont go crazy when the men use "you" = heroin. hold your men tight....

If it makes you feel alright It's your own life -------- self explainatory

I think you are one of the few that have a clue ,though lyrics can be interpreted in a variety of ways; I believe its about smack "getting low" is a way of saying "getting off" or shooting dope. When a junky sees red its like heaven you are finally in a vein about to be HIGH. The white n black can either be pros n cons of talking to someone about your use. Alsothe reference to wakin like a dog trapped in a yard is a junkies worst feeling goin to sleep without a wakeup. Thgough maybe about...
