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 sure do hope this is a long night
'Cause I have never felt one so right
Each look into your eyes, I'm fallin'
A little more and more
Looks like we started us a fire
Wrapped up in flames of desire
With every touch, they're burnin' higher
Two shadows dancin' on the wall
With nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
We'll fall asleep here in the moonlight
In tangled sheets, we'll be here all night
And when we wake up in the morning
We might stay like this all day
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreaming of forever
And it just keeps on gettin' better
With every tender little kiss
Nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreamin' of forever
And it just keeps on gettin' better
With nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
'Cause I have never felt one so right
Each look into your eyes, I'm fallin'
A little more and more
Looks like we started us a fire
Wrapped up in flames of desire
With every touch, they're burnin' higher
Two shadows dancin' on the wall
With nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
We'll fall asleep here in the moonlight
In tangled sheets, we'll be here all night
And when we wake up in the morning
We might stay like this all day
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreaming of forever
And it just keeps on gettin' better
With every tender little kiss
Nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreamin' of forever
And it just keeps on gettin' better
With nothin' on but the radio
Feel the music playin' soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
You and me and the lights down low
With nothin' on but the radio
