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.
( Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah! ) Yes!
There''s been a lot of talk about the game of love,
It''s what everybody, everywhere, is thinking of!
The love bug''s busy as he can be,
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me!
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go round!
I met a little guy about four feet small,
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see ''em coming down the street,
I know true love just can''t be beat!
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go round!
A goose got loose at the county fair,
They looked high and low but she wasn''t there!
Up jumped a gander who said leave her alone,
When she misses old Dad, she''ll come back home!
Cause love makes the world go round . . . ( and round and round! )
No matter what you do or where you go,
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low!
Everybody''s gotta have a love that''s true,
And I just gotta have you, you, you!
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go . . .
Love makes the world go . . .
Love! Makes the world go round!
Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah!
There''s been a lot of talk about the game of love,
It''s what everybody, everywhere, is thinking of!
The love bug''s busy as he can be,
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me!
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go round!
I met a little guy about four feet small,
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see ''em coming down the street,
I know true love just can''t be beat!
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go round!
A goose got loose at the county fair,
They looked high and low but she wasn''t there!
Up jumped a gander who said leave her alone,
When she misses old Dad, she''ll come back home!
Cause love makes the world go round . . . ( and round and round! )
No matter what you do or where you go,
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low!
Everybody''s gotta have a love that''s true,
And I just gotta have you, you, you!
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go . . .
Love makes the world go . . .
Love! Makes the world go round!
Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah!
