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.
Is it so hard to believe our hearts
Are made to be broken by love
That in constant dying lies
The beauty of it all
My darling won't you feel
The sweet heaven in
Our endless cry
Oh at least you could try
For this one last time
Ever amazed how bright are the flames
We are burning in
Ever smiled at the tragedies
We hold inside
My darling won't you cherish
The fear of life that keeps
You and me so alive
Oh at least you could trust
For this one last time
It could be alright
For this one last time
Oh at least you could trust
(And we just will be closer)
For this one last time
(Let me fall into your arms)
It could be alright
(Don't let us grow colder)
For this one last time
(Let me close to your heart)
Oh at least you could trust
(And before it's over)
For this one last time
(And let me fall into your arms)
It could be alright
(Before it's all over)
For this one last time
(Let me close to your heart)
Are made to be broken by love
That in constant dying lies
The beauty of it all
My darling won't you feel
The sweet heaven in
Our endless cry
Oh at least you could try
For this one last time
Ever amazed how bright are the flames
We are burning in
Ever smiled at the tragedies
We hold inside
My darling won't you cherish
The fear of life that keeps
You and me so alive
Oh at least you could trust
For this one last time
It could be alright
For this one last time
Oh at least you could trust
(And we just will be closer)
For this one last time
(Let me fall into your arms)
It could be alright
(Don't let us grow colder)
For this one last time
(Let me close to your heart)
Oh at least you could trust
(And before it's over)
For this one last time
(And let me fall into your arms)
It could be alright
(Before it's all over)
For this one last time
(Let me close to your heart)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
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”
