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 the rain is pouring down
And no one is around
All the doors are closed
You're a stranger in this town
Wandering around and you feel lost
[CHORUS:]
Please try to find me and I'll try to find you
You know I need you just like you need me
Please don't give up cause we're almost together
We've almost made it, hold on and you'll see
When nobody wants to hear
What you want to say
And you feel down when your hope has disappeared
Like a morning train
You can't slow down
[CHORUS:]
I'm just like you,
Oh you know it's true
Don't give up my friend
This is not the end
[CHORUS:]
And no one is around
All the doors are closed
You're a stranger in this town
Wandering around and you feel lost
[CHORUS:]
Please try to find me and I'll try to find you
You know I need you just like you need me
Please don't give up cause we're almost together
We've almost made it, hold on and you'll see
When nobody wants to hear
What you want to say
And you feel down when your hope has disappeared
Like a morning train
You can't slow down
[CHORUS:]
I'm just like you,
Oh you know it's true
Don't give up my friend
This is not the end
[CHORUS:]
