Cherry Lane Lyrics

Cover art for Cherry Lane lyrics by Ryan Adams

for me it's about something different. It's about being in a relationship with a girl he lives with but can't get to the next lvl of a real partnership and companion with or he is just doesn't know what 2 do next.

he could "read" her every night but after a certain point he's missing the end of the novel, there is a limit to how much he can learn and understand about her even though he is better at it than eny1 else .

B4 they move 2gether -she needs 2 get home, looking 4 a cab, holding a rose like at the and of the date.

After tht they move 2gether where they r just the 2 of them , where he feel this is not enough for her (you're walking away). He rather be there and continue to try and understand her.

Again, he can understand her to a certain extant but she is not opening her self up so he cant get any closer and this is wht “fuckes him up” and he doesn't know how 2 explain him self 2 her tht he wants to take another “step” towards her, tht he still wants to protect her and be the guy for her : “walk her home” just like after the date at the beginning.
