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.
Tiny indiscretion blown up to a tragedy
I didn't need a lecture I wanted you
To spend some time
Choking on the sadness
This car rides a funeral
Victory's so dirty it festers in the back of my mind
My mind......
My mind......
My mind......
My mind......
oooooo
It's been three days
Since you left me
And I'm as cold as a stone
It's been three days since you left
And I am not whole
Tying these dreams to my bedpost
Tying this noose to my neck.....
Wishing you'd some how come back
Come back home again
ooooooo
Count the days
Count the days
Till I see your face again
Now come back
come back
to you....
Count the days
Count the days
Till I see your face again
Now come back
come back
to you....
Count the days
Count the days
Till I see your face again
Now come back
come back
to you....
Tiny indiscretion blown up to a tragedy
I didn't need a lecture I wanted you
To spend some time
I didn't need a lecture I wanted you
To spend some time
Choking on the sadness
This car rides a funeral
Victory's so dirty it festers in the back of my mind
My mind......
My mind......
My mind......
My mind......
oooooo
It's been three days
Since you left me
And I'm as cold as a stone
It's been three days since you left
And I am not whole
Tying these dreams to my bedpost
Tying this noose to my neck.....
Wishing you'd some how come back
Come back home again
ooooooo
Count the days
Count the days
Till I see your face again
Now come back
come back
to you....
Count the days
Count the days
Till I see your face again
Now come back
come back
to you....
Count the days
Count the days
Till I see your face again
Now come back
come back
to you....
Tiny indiscretion blown up to a tragedy
I didn't need a lecture I wanted you
To spend some time
