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.
Anyone who ever loved
Could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed
Could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?
Every time you go away
I always say this time it's goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do, I take you back
Without you I'd die, dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart could love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would love me too, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
Could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed
Could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?
Every time you go away
I always say this time it's goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do, I take you back
Without you I'd die, dear
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart could love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would love me too, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you?
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
