Everything you do
Will make you separate from the lovers that you choose
Now your dreams are too confusing
I can’t remember what I’m losing

Cause everything you do
Will make you more like
All the drugs that you abuse
And now its easy to forget, huh?
Every reason to forget her, oh

Forget the phone
The smirking tigers ate their own
Now you know who sleeps alone
(And if I were you)
I would keep the truth
For them
And you

She called me on the phone
And all I heard was the bang, bang, bang!
The radio hit the floor
And I could tell that she wanted more

I’ll let you use your mouth
To show me what love’s all about
My tongue against your thighs tonight

Match maker, match maker make me a match
Conceived through a window, discovered in math
Inhale all the colors and cough out a map
These demons aren’t stopping this brilliant blood bath
Behind eyes

Watch the sun set, watch the sun set
It’s saying things that you’ll never forget
Watch the sun set, watch the sun set
It’s saying things that you’ll never forget

I could have said
All the things that make us sad
But never again
I think our mouths are just too fast
Through that porcelain crack
I can see she just wants nothing to fall
But it’s all gonna fall
I swear to God, if it weren’t for the fall…

We just wouldn’t fall
Let’s stand tall
And fall

Watch the sun set, watch the sun set
I bet you guessed I'm the best to forget

Well, I’m feeling fine
Between your legs

Just let me sleep here
For a few more days

Watch my tongue move, and give me credit
I’ve cheated language, don’t you dare forget it

With no one out here, this town begins to feel so small
Swans and opaque colors, these towns seem to me so dull
Her face in scotch tape and covered in gauze
I swear to God, if it weren’t for the Fall these leaves would seem so fucking far

I’m a little boy
Just a little kid
But I’m my own damn man
With my own damn plans

I’m glad you left me.
Goddamn.

Match maker, match maker spark up a match
Covered in color dissected in math
In flies an angel who’s back from the past
The deadness of winter distilled in a glass
Behind eyes

    These lyrics seem to be written from the perspective of a guy who was going out with a girl for quite sometime and was hurt when she broke up with him, but through it all they remained friends. Then, years later, they try to get back together and now he can't stand her, so he writes this song about it. =P

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
