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.
So baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
Hey hey, beautiful the sunshine shines oh oh so bright, alright.
Lay back ill spend the night just staring at you.
For every grain of sand, that you drew me pictures in.
Yeah there was one for every time that my heart stopped again.
So baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going.
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
Close your eyes don't say a word, your way to beautiful you heard.
The way the way my heart keeps beat be'beat beat beating.
For every grain of sand, that you drew me pictures in.
There was one for every time that my heart stopped again.
So baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going.
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
so baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going.
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
Hey hey, beautiful the sunshine shines oh oh so bright, alright.
Lay back ill spend the night just staring at you.
For every grain of sand, that you drew me pictures in.
Yeah there was one for every time that my heart stopped again.
So baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going.
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
Close your eyes don't say a word, your way to beautiful you heard.
The way the way my heart keeps beat be'beat beat beating.
For every grain of sand, that you drew me pictures in.
There was one for every time that my heart stopped again.
So baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going.
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
so baby keep my heart beat be'beat beat beating.
She's the soul reason I keep believing, that were going.
To die like this you know, oh oh oh.
