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.
Hold Me Like The River Jordan
And I Will Then Say To Thee
You Are My Friend
Carry Me Like You Are My Brother
Love Me Like A Mother
Will You Be There?
Weary Tell Me Will You Hold Me
When Wrong, Will You Scold Me
When Lost Will You Find Me?
But They Told Me A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End But I'm Only Human
Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me And Care Enough To Bear Me
Hold Me Lay Your Head Lowly
Softly Then Boldly Carry Me There
Lead Me Love Me And Feed Me
Kiss Me And Free Me I Will Feel Blessed
Carry Carry Me Boldly
Lift Me Up Slowly Carry Me There
Save Me Heal Me And Bathe Me
Softly You Say To Me I Will Be There
Lift Me Lift Me Up Slowly
Carry Me Boldly Show Me You Care
Hold Me Lay Your Head Lowly
Softly Then Boldly Carry Me There
Need Me Love Me And Feed Me
Kiss Me And Free Me I Will Feel Blessed
In Our Darkest Hour In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care? Will You Be There?
In My Trials And My Tribulations
Through Our Doubts And Frustrations
In My Violence In My Turbulence
Through My Fear And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part For You're Always In My Heart.
And I Will Then Say To Thee
You Are My Friend
Carry Me Like You Are My Brother
Love Me Like A Mother
Will You Be There?
Weary Tell Me Will You Hold Me
When Wrong, Will You Scold Me
When Lost Will You Find Me?
But They Told Me A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End But I'm Only Human
Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me And Care Enough To Bear Me
Hold Me Lay Your Head Lowly
Softly Then Boldly Carry Me There
Lead Me Love Me And Feed Me
Kiss Me And Free Me I Will Feel Blessed
Carry Carry Me Boldly
Lift Me Up Slowly Carry Me There
Save Me Heal Me And Bathe Me
Softly You Say To Me I Will Be There
Lift Me Lift Me Up Slowly
Carry Me Boldly Show Me You Care
Hold Me Lay Your Head Lowly
Softly Then Boldly Carry Me There
Need Me Love Me And Feed Me
Kiss Me And Free Me I Will Feel Blessed
In Our Darkest Hour In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care? Will You Be There?
In My Trials And My Tribulations
Through Our Doubts And Frustrations
In My Violence In My Turbulence
Through My Fear And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part For You're Always In My Heart.

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.
