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 her once she blew me away
I wasn’t sure just what to say
I wrote her a note then let it lay
On her car, she called the next day
Hey, did you leave a note here waiting for me?
She then left her number I couldn’t believe
So I called her back
I wasn’t sure what to say
Hey I’m the crazy guy
Who left a note the other day
Cuz I just had to see
If or not my lifes still saved
So I’m glad u called me back
U know u really made my day.
A few days past
And nothing has changed
I go to work and she does the same
I hesitate when to call her again
She seems so great but what happens then
Hey what if I just don’t say the right things
Or hey what if I wake up from this silly dream
But I called her back
I wasn’t sure what to say
Hey I’m the crazy guy
Who talked to you the other day
I couldn’t help but think of you
And all the things you like to do
So I’m glad you called me back
You know you really made my day
So I called her back
I wasn’t sure what to say
Hey I’m the crazy guy
That fell in love the other day
I couldn’t help but think of you
And all the things you like to do
So I’m glad you called me back
You know you really made my day
I wasn’t sure just what to say
I wrote her a note then let it lay
On her car, she called the next day
Hey, did you leave a note here waiting for me?
She then left her number I couldn’t believe
So I called her back
I wasn’t sure what to say
Hey I’m the crazy guy
Who left a note the other day
Cuz I just had to see
If or not my lifes still saved
So I’m glad u called me back
U know u really made my day.
A few days past
And nothing has changed
I go to work and she does the same
I hesitate when to call her again
She seems so great but what happens then
Hey what if I just don’t say the right things
Or hey what if I wake up from this silly dream
But I called her back
I wasn’t sure what to say
Hey I’m the crazy guy
Who talked to you the other day
I couldn’t help but think of you
And all the things you like to do
So I’m glad you called me back
You know you really made my day
So I called her back
I wasn’t sure what to say
Hey I’m the crazy guy
That fell in love the other day
I couldn’t help but think of you
And all the things you like to do
So I’m glad you called me back
You know you really made my day

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
