Adams, Ryan - Out Of The Woods Lyrics






Looking at it now
It all seemed so simple
We were lying on the couch
I remember
You took a Polaroid of us
Then discovered (then discovered)
The rest of the world is black and white
We were in screaming color
I remember thinkin'

[Chorus:]
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

Looking at it now
Last December
We were built to fall apart
And fall back together
Your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't forget, when we decided
To move the furniture so we could dance
Like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying

[Chorus:]
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

I remember you hit the brakes too soon
20 stitches in the hospital room
When you started crying, baby I did too
When the sun came up, I was lookin' at you
Remember when we couldn't take the heat
I walked out and said I was setting you free
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
And when the sun came up, you were looking at me

[Chorus:]
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods?
Are we in, are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

Adams, Ryan Out Of The Woods Comments
  1. A.... R....

    É tão mais intima essa versão

  2. �.... �....

    одна из самых лучших англоязычных песен, на мой взгляд, просто супер

  3. R.... ....

    As a Florida resident, this song has been popping up in my head all week with Hurricane Dorian's uncertain track lol

  4. D.... R....

    This song fkn sucks

  5. S.... C....

    taylor swift is probably the most talented artist of our time, her lyrics get buried under shit production. but the gold is there.

  6. M.... ....

    Ha, ha...Ryan didn't write a Heartbreaker type Album to his break up with Mandy, he just took Taylor Swift's album and rearranged it to mend his broken heart. Nobody arranges music like this guy, that's what makes him so damned good.

  7. T.... I....

    God, besides the original and the Grammy Museum performance version of this song, this version is my favorite. I'm currently in love with it.

  8. J.... S....

    No other human could do this

  9. A.... G....

    This song makes me soo emotional..

  10. J.... B....

    Taylor who?

  11. M.... e....

    Maravilhas de álbum e de interpretação.....
    Parabéns Ryan Adams!!!

  12. j.... k....

    I've found Ryan Adams version of these songs and music is exceptional especially Gimme Something Good is my Favorite with Elvira Mistress of the dark Love it Thank you Ryan

  13. A.... R....

    This cover would've been perfect for The O.C. (specially for one of those episodee in which Marissa attempts to take her life).

  14. a.... s....

    i love this.

  15. E.... x....

    the best on this whole album

  16. C.... B....

    It is not but sounds like biblical to me.

  17. S.... ....

    Absolutely brilliant interpretation

  18. o.... ....

    Your covers bring me such a sensation of peace... I'm so in love with 'em

  19. R.... C....

    As a huge Taylor fan, I have to say that 1989 is hands down my least favorite album of hers. Thank goodness for this cover album for confirming she’s still an amazing writer, but her pop vibe just isn’t for me. This album is so amazing, thank you!!!

  20. Y.... K....

    Sounds like Lavinia by the Veils.

  21. T.... K....

    I thought this wouldn't be good cause I don't taylors version but THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON HIS COVER ALBUM OMG TEARS

  22. O.... S....

    FVCK THIS IS JUST SO AWESOME. DISCOVERED THIS TODAY. 12:00PM, 21st of MAY 2018. Philippines

  23. C.... S....

    This cover smashes the original

  24. r.... ....

    This is so good it hurts.

  25. S.... L....

    Just heartbreaking. We'll be out of the woods one day, baby.

  26. J.... R....

    dear alan, you give me the chills. in all the best ways. #youtubecrushnotes

  27. L.... G....

    Este disco cover es 10veces mejor que el.original

  28. K.... T....

    All these comparisons, hear I hear Jeff Buckley!. Ryan Adam has the most wonderful voice and is a great musician and composer.......however are we up taking the pain all the time, still I love him.

  29. A.... D....

    This. Is. Genius.

  30. D.... W....

    The second half crescendo is really done well. It is a good song but in not too big on Swift. Don't mean to insult. But the crescendo is nothing short of beautiful and the short diminuendo or the sigh at the songs conclusion tell me these people know their music. That's Tchaikovsky. There are professionals left in this world!

  31. W.... C....

    He made the song into what it ought to have been and put the music back into it. Taylor should sing it this way too. The original misses half the tune.

  32. B.... T....

    This whole album is a masterpiece

  33. P.... A....

    feels ❤💨

  34. d.... ....

    from the comments it seems like (some) men can only admit to appreciating taylor through the lens of ryan. i was dating a guy when 1989 came out who made fun of me for loving it. when it won the grammy for best album i felt vindicated. he's long gone but i hope he hears now what i heard then

  35. L.... E....

    Every song has a soul and RA brings it out here -

  36. W.... b....

    Nope Taylor version is way better!

  37. D.... A....

    😭😭😭😭😭😭

  38. s.... ....

    Are we?

  39. M.... S....

    I love his version of the chorus, but they Taylor does the bridge is so much better. There is so much passion in the part of the song, that just isn't captured here.

  40. h.... d....

    This song makes me want to drink half a bottle of whiskey, call all my exes, and apologize. For everything.

  41. M.... G....

    Such a beautiful song. Mesmerising. If you don't like this song there is no hope for you....

  42. P.... R....

    This is the best cover ever!!

  43. J.... T....

    love the music and the video is awesome

  44. M.... S....

    There are many great songwriters, a fair amount arguably better than Taylor Swift. However, I have yet to find a better story tell than her. The way her songs flow through the subject matter is done like no other. It's like a movie in song form. You can picture everything so clearly.

  45. P.... P....

    i just hattte it. i mean how can u guys listen to it. n btw ts has it 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times better. i mean he sings gud but the way he sang this is truly horrible

    P.... P....

    rhis has much more sadness to it but i dont like it

    P.... P....

    Fuckoff then.

  46. M.... S....

    It's so interesting how these different takes on the song completely change the feeling they bring. Taylor wanted her song to bring a hectic and chaotic feel, while Ryan gives this sings this song filled with desperation. It's different but both are great.

  47. R.... C....

    People please start listening to Full Albums again.

  48. s.... ....

    The feels. Oh Ryan, how I love thee.

  49. S.... S....

    Looking at it now, it all seems so simple
    We were lying on your couch, I remember
    You took a Polaroid of us
    Then discovered (then discovered)
    The rest of the world was black and white

    Are we out of the woods yet?[x3]
    Are we out of the woods?
    Are we in the clear yet?[x3]
    In the clear yet, good
    [x2]
    Are we out of the woods?
    Looking at it now, last December
    We were built to fall apart, then fall back together
    Your necklace hanging from my neck,
    The night we couldn't quite forget
    When we decided (We decided)
    To move the furniture so we could dance
    Baby, like we stood a chance
    Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
    And I remember thinking
    Are we out of the woods yet?[x3]
    Are we out of the woods?

    You were looking at me.
    Are we out of the woods yet? [3x]
    Are we out of the woods? (I remember)
    Are we in the clear yet? [x4] (Oh, I remember)

  50. l.... w....

    so well done I love it!......beautiful!

  51. T.... S....

    Eu queria poder dar todos os likes do mundo pra essa interpretação. 💕 Amando cada acorde.

  52. N.... S....

    very interesting version- well done!

  53. M.... S....

    I'm glad Ryan covered this album cause it shows older generations who might be quick to judge her music with out even giving it a chance how incredibly talented she is. My dad finally understands why I love Taylor.

    M.... S....

    Guilty.

  54. �.... �....

    love this

  55. D.... H....

    everything that he cover taylor's, way much more better. especially this.

    D.... H....

    Daniel Hakimi Ahmad Yusri for each of their own

    D.... H....

    Not really

  56. C.... S....

    Una de mis canciones favoritas, sólo en esta versión. <3

  57. b.... t....

    I could imagine Eddie Vedder doing this (has a feel of the Into the wild soundtrack to it)

  58. w.... t....

    beautiful cover man

  59. a.... ....

    you make us feel for Taylor Swift perhaps more than our own sorrow

  60. S.... K....

    Love the strings in the rollout at the end of the song.

  61. V.... S....

    my favourite cover on the album hands down

  62. V.... W....

    This record has ruined me. I no longer like anything else Ryan Adams has put out. Sad but true. This record is all I need. It's just so far and away better than anything else he's put out, vocally and production-wise. The lyrics (thank you TS - and I cannot listen to her record) work so well with RA's arrangements and performance. Every song on the record....every song.

  63. A.... C....

    I absolutely love the original but this evokes so much more sadness. Taylor's version is chaotic which she stated is purposely. Crazy beautiful slowed down.

    A.... C....

    Angelia Cooper Have you listened to her peroformance of this in Grammy museum? It was just her and a piano, think you'll like it.

  64. a.... b....

    Best one. Art.

  65. T.... S....

    Perfeita! 💕

  66. T.... T....

    So... who knew a Taylor Swift song was ever so beautiful and mature and challenging as Ryan made this one?

    T.... T....

    TWISTEDT3ABAGGA TWISTEDMINDS listen to her Red album 👍🏼

  67. S.... Y....

    when he sing the last " are we out of the woods?" part, you can feel the pain on her voice. So underrated.

  68. n.... ....

    omg... So much deeper and richer in meaning than the original... genius

  69. s.... ....

    I am having a very loving, caring, tender relationship with this song atm.

  70. C.... S....

    this is the best cover!

  71. C.... v....

    when he sings "are we out of the woods" it kind of sounds like "ouwhie out ouwhie out ouwhie out"

  72. k.... a....

    This proves that TS's lyrics are borderline poetry, all you gotta do is strip down and be more humble with your production.

    k.... a....

    Yeah she did, but thanks! She wrote the lyrics and melody and Jack Antonoff mixed the music.

    k.... a....

    kinda awkward YES YES!!! Her words show such vulnerability and honesty. Ryan Kills it though.. fucking makes me weep like a bitch..

    k.... a....

    kinda awkward I do not believe that stripping anything down (musically speaking) makes a persons work of art more poetic. It simply is poetic as it is but, I do believe what you mean to say is that you prefer this style and version of Taylor Swift's song better. Take The Killers Hot Fuss album and the Abby Road production of "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" by Brandon Flowers, it is and sounds much different from its original recording and to say it simply some like yourself prefer that version better than the original version. It's preference that makes you feel the song and a song is more poetic and beautiful when really from the beginning it already was a Mona Lisa to begin with minus your input. 🤔🙄

    k.... a....

    I think the lyrics from 1989 are more poetic than of her previous albums. So good call on reworking this album over any of the other ones.

    k.... a....

    lol. who do you think writes Taylor Swift songs? She does. It's her decision if she wants to co-write with other people.

  73. B.... P....

    Its cover? I thought taylor is the real sings that?
    Just asking😊

    B.... P....

    Taylor Swift is the original singer. This is Ryan's cover.

  74. M.... a....

    it just feels like new song with the lyrics of out of the woods. Haha but it's so cool though as it's kind of meaningful classic song. feel so emotional

  75. S.... B....

    he sounds like an old man

  76. s.... ....

    wow, I enjoy this! it's so visualized! i feel like I'm traveling somewhere i don't know.

  77. j.... t....

    beatiful song.. cute

  78. C.... D....

    A hard rock version would be cool of this :)

  79. C.... D....

    I guess he had to do this to remember where he was...
    I understand that
    what I will never understand what made him forget himself that he couldnt do his own music Thanks alot Mandy Moore eh
    He's alright now :) I think

  80. C.... D....

    I really will never understand why he had to go back so far in her songs and forgetting his songs I guess he had to do it musically Still weird for me but Beautiful .

  81. S.... Y....

    The "are we are?" it's almost magical in this version. You can feel the pain in there.

  82. I.... T....

    this version is shite compared to Taylors in fairness and im a huge RA fan. Its the only song on the album he couldn't get right. he couldn't capture Swifts sense of urgency in the chorus and especially in the bridge. He's melancholic throughout. but she wrote it to be melancholic and nostalgic in the verses and then frantic in the chorus and bridge. he missed this. There's no point in putting a different spin on a cover for sake of it being the point of a cover if it means compromising the whole meaning of the song and getting it wrong as a result. drearily singing "are we out of the woods yet" sounds painful and makes sense yes...but it doesn't beat Swift's panic and that "never settled" feeling from one day to the next type of relationship we all know. it just doesn't capture it well enough. it also sounds like he tried too hard with this cover. now go back and listen to Swifts original version and get the idea of the song :)

  83. L.... M....

    Amo essa música desde que eu a ouvi no Deezer.

  84. M.... M....

    This is nice, but I'd probably appreciate it better if I didn't know the original so well. It's not a bad interpretation, but what happened to the melody? He just seems to be singing the same note over and over.

    M.... M....

    Marcus M have you listened to Taylor swift songs? She repeats the same note in most of her songs at some point.

  85. D.... ....

    I don't really like your covers um but good job lol

  86. H.... M....

    this guy's fucking amazing and i just found out about him...

    H.... M....

    that's a rabbit hole that lasts about a decade, from whiskeytown on through today

    H.... M....

    Have ya'll heard the Jayhawks?

    H.... M....

    Try two decades. Damn, I feel old now.

    H.... M....

    jayhawks have amazing melodies but lack the gut wrenching lyrical talent Ryan has always had

  87. i.... e....

    okay this is real talent ;) &&' im a huge Taylor fan and would think no one can do it as good as her but you absolutely wow'd me thanks for that experience 🙉🔥

  88. R.... B....

    popstar: that is why you could and will never write anything, inclusive of the preceding tirade about nothing...

  89. R.... B....

    mandari, perhaps if you had a glimmer the genres of music..and you don't.

  90. R.... B....

    fer shure. fer shure, gab lee. we'll know fer shure...since it isn't how do you propose a next move.?

  91. D.... A....

    this cover is good, but do not get the same vibe from the original song.

  92. T.... B....

    I never knew about this album till now...not too many more prolific and important artists out there.

  93. s.... k....

    Love this❤️

  94. r.... p....

    boo u ra

  95. s.... ....

    great album.obviously Ryan Adams is in love w tswift.Nuf f said. all you had to do was stay. that people say.

  96. k.... ....

    I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free
    But the monsters turned out to be just cheese

  97. D.... L....

    i thought this was Crazier😂😂

  98. T.... W....

    This isn't a cover. Taylor's video came out AFTER this therefore Taylor is the one that covered it

    T.... W....

    +TeMoana White except her album came out a year before this

    T.... W....

    you are right perhaps not by logic..ryan adams composed the entire album

    T.... W....

    +Ron Belin Amm... He didn´t write any lyrics for 1989, he changed the songs for his cover album but has nothing to do with the original composed of 1989..

    T.... W....

    since every song on the album was written w/ my pen and the melodic compositions along w/ those story lines were sold to swift via adams, what are you trying to say.?

    T.... W....

    laura..what is it you think you know.? nothing at all ..the extent of your knowledge in this particularly.

  99. h.... y....

    this song is a masterpiece <3

  100. D.... A....

    This is so sad :'(
    Remember me a same situation in my life
