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.
Superman can fly high way up in the sky
'Cause we believe he can
So what we choose to believe can always work out fine
It's all in the mind
So think of a place and imagine a time
And let's go be lovers
Believing me, Ooo Wee baby
Is believing right-oh yeah, and
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl
So make me a believer
Wanna love you girl
Ooo so near
And forever keep you here
Forget all about whatever we fear
And let's just be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay
I know the way to persuade me over to your side
And I am sure you can
So if you get me to believe
It all will work out fine
'Cause you'll blow my mind
So let's pick a place, a day, and a time
And then we'll be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay
'Cause we believe he can
So what we choose to believe can always work out fine
It's all in the mind
So think of a place and imagine a time
And let's go be lovers
Believing me, Ooo Wee baby
Is believing right-oh yeah, and
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl
So make me a believer
Wanna love you girl
Ooo so near
And forever keep you here
Forget all about whatever we fear
And let's just be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay
I know the way to persuade me over to your side
And I am sure you can
So if you get me to believe
It all will work out fine
'Cause you'll blow my mind
So let's pick a place, a day, and a time
And then we'll be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay
