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.
This is the first time that I've cried in a while
'Cause everything's okay, 'cause everything's okay
This is the first time that I've smiled in a while
'Cause everything's okay, 'cause everything's okay
I thought it was over, but then I remember
That love last forever and we'll be together
Two days without you not thinking about you
That's too much to ask from me
It's the way that we lie in the sand
(Slips right through my hands like you)
And the way that the sun makes your silouhette
And the chances that I had to make you smile
Aren't coming around
This is the first time you called in a while
Is everything okay, is everything okay?
This is the first time that you've cried in a while
Is everything okay, is everything okay?
I know it's confusing, but nothing was losing
I'm sick of refusing and I'm sick of you saying
Two days without you not thinking about you
It's too much to ask from me
It's the way that we lie in the sand
(Slips right through my hands like you do)
And the way that the sun makes your silouhette
And the chances that I have to make you smile
They are coming around
Not coming around
Not coming around
Not coming around
Not coming around
It's the way that we lie in the sand
(Slips right through my hands)
And the way that the sun makes your silouhette
And the chances that I have to make you smile
They're not coming around
Now I'm alone
'Cause everything's okay, 'cause everything's okay
This is the first time that I've smiled in a while
'Cause everything's okay, 'cause everything's okay
I thought it was over, but then I remember
That love last forever and we'll be together
Two days without you not thinking about you
That's too much to ask from me
It's the way that we lie in the sand
(Slips right through my hands like you)
And the way that the sun makes your silouhette
And the chances that I had to make you smile
Aren't coming around
This is the first time you called in a while
Is everything okay, is everything okay?
This is the first time that you've cried in a while
Is everything okay, is everything okay?
I know it's confusing, but nothing was losing
I'm sick of refusing and I'm sick of you saying
Two days without you not thinking about you
It's too much to ask from me
It's the way that we lie in the sand
(Slips right through my hands like you do)
And the way that the sun makes your silouhette
And the chances that I have to make you smile
They are coming around
Not coming around
Not coming around
Not coming around
Not coming around
It's the way that we lie in the sand
(Slips right through my hands)
And the way that the sun makes your silouhette
And the chances that I have to make you smile
They're not coming around
Now I'm alone

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Haha I love how the name is totally the opposite of together with the sundown lol that's cute. This song is pretty new but it is really good. Stephen has a Nevershoutnever!/Chase Coy like sound but he is much better than them both in my opinion. I love you Stephen! <3
totally agree :)
I think it's about him being in a serious relationship and taking a break from it, either because she's leaving for college or a vacation or because she just needed some time.
