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.
Gonna take off all my skin
Tear apart all of my insides
When they rifle in
Mom and Dad think you'll be saved
They never had the time
They gonna medicate your lives
You were always born a crime
We salute you in your grave
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Well my gun fires seven different shades of shit
So what's your favorite color, punk?
D'you wanna hold my hand?
Could you sign this photograph
'cause I'm your biggest fan
Would you leave me lyin' here?
We ain't here to pay a compliment
Or sing about the government
Oxycontin genocide
Adolescent suicide
Give me my sincerity
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
Here's what I got to say:
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Whoa oh oh
Way e ay e oh
Whoa oh oh
Way e ay e oh
OWWWW
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find the way
Can't find the way
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
Tear apart all of my insides
When they rifle in
Mom and Dad think you'll be saved
They never had the time
They gonna medicate your lives
You were always born a crime
We salute you in your grave
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Well my gun fires seven different shades of shit
So what's your favorite color, punk?
D'you wanna hold my hand?

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
