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.
One dance whose steps I never could learn
It's called the wedding march
The grace that it takes, the grace you deserve,
Require a lighter touch
I know you love dancing.
Oh, I know that you love dancing so much
I know you love dancing.
Music's a wild thing with mischief to prove
I can't adjust to the way that you move
Music's a wild thing whatever the groove
Some music isn't for dancing
One dance whose steps I never could learn
It's called the wedding march
The grace that it takes, the balance and poise,
I still find a mystery
I know you love dancing.
So, I know that you'd hate dancing with me
I know you love dancing.
So, I know that you'd hate dancing with me
It's called the wedding march
The grace that it takes, the grace you deserve,
Require a lighter touch
I know you love dancing.
Oh, I know that you love dancing so much
I know you love dancing.
Music's a wild thing with mischief to prove
I can't adjust to the way that you move
Music's a wild thing whatever the groove
Some music isn't for dancing
One dance whose steps I never could learn
It's called the wedding march
The grace that it takes, the balance and poise,
I still find a mystery
I know you love dancing.
So, I know that you'd hate dancing with me
I know you love dancing.
So, I know that you'd hate dancing with me
