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.
I saw your face
Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase
Still, I so admired
Bloodshot, your smile
Delicate and wild
Give me she-wolf style
Rip right through me
Silveretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I've got her on my mind
Nothing better, the feeling is so fine
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow
Come on, baby, 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run
I saw your crime
Dying to get high
Two of a kind
Beats all hands tonight
Silveretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I've got her on my mind
All the better, to make it is so fine
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow
Come on, baby, 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run
Silveretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I've got her on my mind
Nothing better, the feeling is so fine
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow, let's go
Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase
Still, I so admired
Bloodshot, your smile
Delicate and wild
Give me she-wolf style
Rip right through me
Silveretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I've got her on my mind
Nothing better, the feeling is so fine
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow
Come on, baby, 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run
I saw your crime
Dying to get high
Two of a kind
Beats all hands tonight
Silveretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I've got her on my mind
All the better, to make it is so fine
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow
Come on, baby, 'cause there's no name for
Give it up and I got what I came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run
Silveretta, the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her, I've got her on my mind
Nothing better, the feeling is so fine
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow
Simply put, I saw your love stream flow, let's go
