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 wandered far in lands unknown
'Til I came to my earthly home
Far away I found life's dreams
Drifting on a silver beam
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
Traveling, twice the speed of light
Orion's stars are high tonight
Gentle madness touched my hand
Now, I'm just a cosmic man
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
Traveling, twice the speed of light
Orion's stars are high tonight
Gentle madness touched my hand
Now, I'm just a cosmic man
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
'Til I came to my earthly home
Far away I found life's dreams
Drifting on a silver beam
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
Traveling, twice the speed of light
Orion's stars are high tonight
Gentle madness touched my hand
Now, I'm just a cosmic man
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
Traveling, twice the speed of light
Orion's stars are high tonight
Gentle madness touched my hand
Now, I'm just a cosmic man
You'd better believe it
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say
It's so easy to say

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
