I'm walkin down another
cold dark street
I'm waiting
For dawn
Another coffee shop
an empty face
Keep me warm until dawn
The heat from sewer grates warm my bed
the snow ain't cold anymore
My feet are so wet
From the holes in my shoes
the shoes that walked out your door
But I don't care
don't push me away
You can't hurt me anymore
Not anymore
I'll sing you hymns
for a cup of soup
so hungry
I don't care
How ?bout let me lay down for a little while
In a warm dry place
Gimme a quarter
For the movies all night
I gotta stay awake
I'm afraid of sleeping
And I'm freezing to death
I gotta keep me awake
But I don't care
don't push me away
You can't hurt me anymore
Not anymore

    Awesome song, its about things being so bad, you have nothing to lose so it doesn't matter what people do.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
