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.
I don't give a damn about your punk ass rain
It just falls and falls and falls
I don't care about your day
Cuz it's yours, it's yours, it's yours
It's yours
The sky's a-crying on a Friday night
She's dancing above the light of day
Can't hear them saying, saying "come down, it's gonna rain"
The sun's a-smiling on a Saturday morning
She's too high to hear their warning yells
They're gonna buy and sell
And try and push on through the pain
I don't give a damn about your punk ass rain
It just falls and falls and falls
I don't care about your day
Cuz it's yours, it's yours, it's yours
It's yours
They built a ladder and they climbed up to her
Went on top and proudly threw her off
And she sang, and she sang as she falls, she falls
"I don't give a damn about your punk ass rain
It just falls and falls and falls
I don't care about your day
Cuz it's yours, it's yours, it's yours"
It just falls and falls and falls
I don't care about your day
Cuz it's yours, it's yours, it's yours
It's yours
The sky's a-crying on a Friday night
She's dancing above the light of day
Can't hear them saying, saying "come down, it's gonna rain"
The sun's a-smiling on a Saturday morning
She's too high to hear their warning yells
They're gonna buy and sell
And try and push on through the pain
I don't give a damn about your punk ass rain
It just falls and falls and falls
I don't care about your day
Cuz it's yours, it's yours, it's yours
It's yours
They built a ladder and they climbed up to her
Went on top and proudly threw her off
And she sang, and she sang as she falls, she falls
"I don't give a damn about your punk ass rain
It just falls and falls and falls
I don't care about your day
Cuz it's yours, it's yours, it's yours"

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”

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.
Josiah leaked this on his myspace. I didn't hear it, but he posted the lyrics in his blog.
It's on his myspace now. Well it has been for awhile actually. Sounds beautiful. Lyrics are still the same.
