Come Pick Me Up - Ryan Adams

Artist: Ryan Adams
Song: Come Pick Me Up
Year: 2000
Album: Heartbreaker

I envision this as a twisted love song about a man who loves a woman through anything. The woman may cheat, lie and steal to support her fantasies, but he still loves her at the end of the day. I am lucky to have never fallen into a relationship like this one.

I'm not sure about the first time that I hears this song. It seems to have always been inside my head, humming away in the background. I want to say that I heard it in a movie, but I can't be sure. I stumbled upon this album after hearing another song called "AMY". It was different and inviting.

This song seem simple enough, but the melody gets easily caught in your brain. I haven't heard this song for a few months, before today, yet it infested my brain enough to seek it out and put it up here. That's what a good song will do to you.

Whatever you do, don't call out for a Bryan Adams song at a Ryan Adams concert. He has been known to fly off the handle at the mention of "Summer Of '69" and will more than likely stop a concert to get his point across. Come to think of it, that sounds like it could be fun!

Lyrics:
When they call your name,
will you walk right up
with a smile on your face?
or Will you cower in fear
in your favorite sweater?

With an old love letter,
I wish you would...

I wish you would
come pick me up,
take me out,
fuck me up,
steal my records,
screw all my friends,
they're all full of shit,
with a smile on your face.
and Then do it again...

I wish you would...
When you're walking downtown,
do you wish i was there
do you wish it was me
with the windows clear and the mannequins eyes

Do they all look like mine
you know you could
i wish you would
come pick me up,
take me out,
fuck me up,
steal my records,
screw all my friends behind my back,
with a smile on your face.
and Then do it again.

I wish you would
i wish you'd make up my bed
so i could make up my mind
try it for sleeping instead
maybe you'll rest sometime
i wish i could
