Low
Counting Crows Lyrics

Sometimes I wanna take you down,
At times, I feel like bringing you to a new, exciting level emotionally.

Sometimes I wanna get you low,
Occasionally, I want to take you to a darker, introspective state of mind.

Brush your hair back from your eyes,
Gently move away the hair covering your eyes to fully see and understand you.

Take you down let the river flow,
Help guide you to a more relaxed state, allowing things to just flow naturally.

Sometimes I wanna walk the street,
At times, I feel like exploring and discovering things with you by wandering the streets.

Behind the green sheet of glass,
Observed through the separated green glass, giving the world a unique, distinct view.

A million miles below your feet,
A great distance beneath you, holding many possibilities yet to be discovered.

A million miles, a million miles.
An unimaginable distance from where we are, representing the vastness of everything.

I'll be with you girl, like being low,
I will be there with you, emotionally and physically, even as we explore and experience new and different states of mind.

Hey, hey, hey like being stoned,
Expressing the feeling of pure relaxation, as if under the influence of drugs in a way that is playful and upbeat.

A million poppies gonna make me sleep,
The idea that many things can lull you into a deep sleep but they won't provide true rest, only time will.

But just one rose who knows your name,
One particular object, person or thought that can keep you awake, alert and focused.

The fruit is rusting on the vine,
Something that has been neglected and is now decaying before harvesting it or making use of it, can still be appreciated.

The fruit is calling from the trees,
Potential and opportunity call out from every direction, despite the fact that they must be actively sought out and in the end, harvested.

Hey oh don't you wanna go down,
A question asked in search of agreement, meaning we both want to reach the same level of understanding and connection.

Like some displaced cosmonaut,
Describing someone that is out of touch with their home environment or out of sorts, like a lost astronaut in space.

A million miles a million miles,
So far away, it might as well be a million miles, representing the vast distances we could traverse emotionally and physically.

Blue, blue is the sun,
Detailing an imagined alternate reality which shatters our expectations and preconceived notions about the world.

And brown, brown is the sky,
Continuing to describe a world that is strange, unexpected and must be reimagined to move forward.

Green, green of her eyes,
Noticing and appreciating the details of someone you care for, and their green eyes in particular.

A million miles, a million miles,
A repeated theme that every moment or challenge can feel insurmountable and daunting, providing both excitement and doubt.

Hey, oh don't you wanna go down,
The same question being asked again, persistently desiring the same level of mutual understanding and acceptance.

Like some junkie cosmonaut,
A second reference to an astronaut that is emotional and out of touch with their surroundings, but this time with negative connotations.

A million miles below your feet,
Continuing the idea of the vastness beneath you, but this time placing it lower down for an added emphasize.

Be with you girl, like being low,
Repetitive in expressing the desire to be with someone who understands you and to share experiences with them.

Hey, hey, hey like being stoned.
Ending the song on a similar sentiment on the value of being relaxed, taking things in stride and finding joy in the moment.
