Discover the story of the song > Shiver And Shake – Ryan Adams

The protagonist is missing his partner who seems to have left him. He hears her voice and imagines being with her, but she's not actually there. He can't sleep and sees her with another guy in his dreams. Even though he knows he's being foolish, he still misses her so much that he shivers and shakes. He's been waiting for her like a loyal dog, but she's no longer showing him any affection and he's afraid he'll fade away if he keeps waiting.
