In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Surprise me I'm looking out looking out
Surprise me you jump back up on to your feet somehow
Surprise me I'm looking out looking out
Surprise me you jump back up on to your
Things appear gone..things appear gone
Where'd you go?
Seems like your better half said it all
You're wonderful

Seems like your better half said it all

Where'd you go?
Seems like your better half said it all
You're wonderful
Seems like your better half said it
Surprise me you jump back up on to your feet somehow
Surprise me I'm looking out looking out
Surprise me you jump back up on to your
Things appear gone..things appear gone
Where'd you go?
Seems like your better half said it all
You're wonderful
Seems like your better half said it all
Surprise me I'm looking out looking out
Surprise me you jump back up on to your feet somehow
