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.
You're my number one
You're my golden star
I look at Earth from here
Still you don't seem so far
But you will never know
(we will never know)
Oh you will never know.
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Do you think of me?
Do you wonder?
If we could ever be
We're diving under
Because we will never know
(we will never know)
Until I see you show through
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
I, I wish I could tell you how I feel
And show you what's inside of me is real
I don't know what I'm waiting for
Can't explain it anymore, yeah.
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
No I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
And I'll love (oh oh oh oh)
I love (oh oh oh oh)
I love you. (oh oh oh oh)
You're my golden star
I look at Earth from here
Still you don't seem so far
But you will never know
(we will never know)
Oh you will never know.
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Do you think of me?
Do you wonder?
If we could ever be
We're diving under
Because we will never know
(we will never know)
Until I see you show through
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
I, I wish I could tell you how I feel
And show you what's inside of me is real
I don't know what I'm waiting for
Can't explain it anymore, yeah.
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
No I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
Oh I would never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh...
And I'll love (oh oh oh oh)
I love (oh oh oh oh)
I love you. (oh oh oh oh)

I love this song but it's incredibly juvenile. I just adore the chorus
