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.
[1st verse:]
Saw you come home early this morning
Straight from somewhere you come rockin' up in a me
Later on you'll be tellin' me stories
Can you really tell me where you're coming from?
Seen your phone bill, who you been callin?
Don't try to fool me when I ask what's up
'cause boy you know me I'm too good, I know you're being phoney
Don't say another word before I mess you up
[Chorus:]
Oh now
Tell me who's that bitch I see climbing out your window
Oh, hell, no
I think I seen her face almost everywhere that we go
Oh, hell, no
Say it to my face, why hesitate, wanna know
Oh, oh, oh
Thought you'd get away boy, sorry I don't think so
Oh, hell, no
[2nd verse:]
Smell you wearing new cologne lately
Walk into the room and you be smellin' up in a me
New clothes you were never this trendy
Could never get you shopping now you shop to drop
I think ya, so stupid acting all shady
Try'na tell me lies but you be trippin up you see ya
No good at the creeping thing baby
Don't say another word before I mess you up
[Chorus:]
Oh now
Tell me who's that bitch I see climbing out your window...
[M8:]
Don't say another word before I mess you up
Why you lie
I cottoned on
Don't say another word before I mess you up
[Chorus:]
Oh now
Tell me who's that bitch I see climbing out your window...
[Instrumental to fade]

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
