Come Pick Me Up

Ryan Adams

Thought I was done with this little Alt-Country run, but nothing jumped out at me today except this tune from Ryan Adams. And this live version with Neil Finn watching him in awe?? It’s so beautiful and kind of ridiculous. Neil is a LEGEND, but here he is being blown away by this tune and performance. It’s like he’s about to cry. Polarizing figure no doubt, but what a voice and what a love song. Timeless and sad. Cameron Crowe used it in a film but it is best right here. 💔

When you're walking downtown
Do you wish I was there?
Do you wish it was me?
With the windows clear and the mannequin's 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
