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.
When I'm in the club
I'm always on a drug
If you get a hug
Guess what drug
I'm on?
Ecstasy!
In Miami
¡Bienvenido a Miami!
Where are you?
We’re getting high
But only on our own supply
It’s the truth, we never lie
Whatever I do I’m ready to die
In the new school learning to fly
Never follow the rules, don’t ask me why
We’re by the pool waiting to dry
On my way to the sky
Bye, bye
I'm always on a drug
If you get a hug
Guess what drug
I'm on?
Ecstasy!
In Miami
¡Bienvenido a Miami!
Where are you?
We’re getting high
But only on our own supply
It’s the truth, we never lie
Whatever I do I’m ready to die
In the new school learning to fly
Never follow the rules, don’t ask me why
We’re by the pool waiting to dry
On my way to the sky
Bye, bye
