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.
When she leaves,
she's just asking
to be followed.
When she walks out,
all she wants is
to be led.
All my boys say
she's just asking
for it.
And I ain't syaing nothing.
(Chorus)She couldn't care less
Wearing that dress.
Pretty little thing
Oh no
Hot little thing
Hot little thing and knows it.
Don't suppose it would be cool if we hung out?
'Cause when you walked by
you know every guy
noticed.
The way that your dress
clings on for the ride
mmhmm.
All my boys say
she's the type to
fake it.
And I ain't saying nothing.
Chorus
We could go out
we could go anywhere that you want.
We could stay in
we could do anything that you want.
We could do lunch
in Soho
or something.
'Cause when you walked in
all i want is
a reason
to talk to that girl
whose grace is so rare.
All my boys say
you won't get her
numbers.
I ain't saying nothing.
628-4081.

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”
