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.
Well it's christmastime everybody
But it's raining in my heart
Yes it's christmastime everybody
But it's raining in my heart
Well you know that i love you baby
Tell me why must we be apart
Well you told me new year's eve
That we'd be together christmastime
Well you told me new year's eve
That we'd be together at christmastime
Well it's christmas eve my darling
Will you be here when the bell
Begins to chime
Okay
What is a ship without a cre-ew
What is the morning without the de-ew baby
What's a ship without a cre-ew
What is the morning without the de-ew baby
What is my life little darling
Another lonely christmas
Without you
But it's raining in my heart
Yes it's christmastime everybody
But it's raining in my heart
Well you know that i love you baby
Tell me why must we be apart
Well you told me new year's eve
That we'd be together christmastime
Well you told me new year's eve
That we'd be together at christmastime
Well it's christmas eve my darling
Will you be here when the bell
Begins to chime
Okay
What is a ship without a cre-ew
What is the morning without the de-ew baby
What's a ship without a cre-ew
What is the morning without the de-ew baby
What is my life little darling
Another lonely christmas
Without you
