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.

It's hurting me, it's hurting me
This doubt is hurting me.
So remove this doubt
From my heart, little boy
And let me live my life
Knowing you care.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Close the door of doubt forever more
And may it never more make me unsure
Turn the key and lock away this doubt in me
Keep it in the dark, not in my heart
Be more tender
Completely surrender your love to me
Be sweet and not discreet.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Remove this doubt in our hearts
Remove this doubt from my heart.
It's hurting me, it's hurting me
This doubt is hurting me.
So remove this doubt
From my heart, little boy
And let me live my life
Knowing you care.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Close the door of doubt forever more
And may it never more make me unsure
Turn the key and lock away this doubt in me
Keep it in the dark, not in my heart
Be more tender
Completely surrender your love to me
Be sweet and not discreet.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Remove this doubt in our hearts
Remove this doubt from 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”
