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 am not prepared, I just gotta gotta get there,
Where am I, why can't I just get it together?
Fuck it, where's my shit?
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it
I wanna throw it out the window
I wanna throw it out the window
I wanna throw it out the window
I wanna throw it out the window
And here I go, hanging on
Nothing new, nothing new,
Nothing nah, nothing oh no
Let's get naked and rip down the wall that makes me crazy
Tell me how
Someone hold my hand and give me lessons 'cos I wanna
Melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot
I'll never stay, love is the only way out
I, oh-ohh
And oh, when I see you
I'm lucky, waiting for silence to come
And take me down
To see, what you are waiting for
Do I need the sound
So slow
Hurt, first, me, please
I know that you want to, I know that you want to
Please tell me
Where you're hiding
Hurt, me, ohhh
(waiting for, waiting for)
To save this love, break through fire
I am not prepared, I just gotta gotta get there,
Where am I, why can't I just get it together?
Fuck it, where's my shit?
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it
I wanna throw it out the window
Let's get naked and rip down the wall that makes me crazy
Tell me how
Someone hold my hand and give me lessons 'cos I wanna
Melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
Someone hold my hand and give me lessons 'cos I wanna
Where am I, why can't I just get it together?
Fuck it, where's my shit?
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it
I wanna throw it out the window
I wanna throw it out the window
I wanna throw it out the window
I wanna throw it out the window
And here I go, hanging on
Nothing new, nothing new,
Nothing nah, nothing oh no
Let's get naked and rip down the wall that makes me crazy
Tell me how
Someone hold my hand and give me lessons 'cos I wanna
Melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot
I'll never stay, love is the only way out
I, oh-ohh
And oh, when I see you
I'm lucky, waiting for silence to come
And take me down
To see, what you are waiting for
Do I need the sound
So slow
Hurt, first, me, please
I know that you want to, I know that you want to
Please tell me
Where you're hiding
Hurt, me, ohhh
(waiting for, waiting for)
To save this love, break through fire
I am not prepared, I just gotta gotta get there,
Where am I, why can't I just get it together?
Fuck it, where's my shit?
Oh my God I'm mad at it
Oh my God I'm mad at it
I wanna throw it out the window
Let's get naked and rip down the wall that makes me crazy
Tell me how
Someone hold my hand and give me lessons 'cos I wanna
Melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
I wanna melt the knot inside of it
Someone hold my hand and give me lessons 'cos I wanna

i hope she didn't want to throw her baby out the window. i think it's about being in an overwhelming situation....single mom, new baby, a complicated and broken relationship....reconfiguring your entire life and not knowing where or how to start. trying to be strong when it's easier to be mad or sad, half wanting to give up on everything but refusing let yourself do it.
