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.

Take one look at me and I'm sure you're bound to see the guy your man was supposed to be. It's just me. I got a twinkle in my eyes, it blings till she's blind and she looks so siced to have me tingling her thighs. Not a single thing denied, I can see it in her eyes, put it in her ass like "hey bitch, surprise!" Surprise bitch! You know you like that shit, my shit. Surprise bitch! The way I rock the clit.
Don't be surprised if your best friend tries to give it to me, take her in the back and teach her how to Spinerooni. Oops, I meant spin it on me, as long as she don't shit it on me imma take it to my crib and she'll show me that pretty body. Iced out like Alaska, can't put it past ya. These bitches are my diamonds, touch one and imma blast ya. Cuz I aint ever solved a CAPTCHA cause I didn't add her. She added Dropping a Popped Locket...Bitch and now I'm gonna tap her.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
wowowowow, this song is the shizzz i wish more people heard the song and knew the band it should be madd famous by nowww!!
