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.
Why cant i believe
What i want to believe
Let go of Instincts
This suddle hand
Why cant i pretend
Nothings happening
like so many others have
Well I want you to say that things'll get better
Cause I know myself and I can do better
Well I want to say that things'll get better
but I, I can't
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come, That never does come
With honesty
Wondering..
You can tear the house down 'round me
Like a ghost, it wont admit that he's dead
I'm stuck here in the middle of this
Well I want you to say that things'll get better
Cause I know myself and I can do better
Well I want to say that things'll get better
but I, I can't
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come, That never does come
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come, That never does come
What i want to believe
Let go of Instincts
This suddle hand
Why cant i pretend
Nothings happening
like so many others have
Well I want you to say that things'll get better
Cause I know myself and I can do better
Well I want to say that things'll get better
but I, I can't
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come, That never does come
With honesty
Wondering..
You can tear the house down 'round me
Like a ghost, it wont admit that he's dead
I'm stuck here in the middle of this
Well I want you to say that things'll get better
Cause I know myself and I can do better
Well I want to say that things'll get better
but I, I can't
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come, That never does come
And it feels like it's a movie about losing
Only this time it's us
And we're counting on a surprise ending
That never does come, That never does come
