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.
Who do you think you are
Telling me I've gone too far
You must be out of your mind
Telling your friends I was bugging you
That you weren't playing true
Slipping out of your mind
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
[Chorus]
You're out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
Thinking you were someone special
Time has shown and now I know
How wrong I have been
Always feeling
That you're using me
Confusing me
Two-timing me
I can't remember
How long has it been
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
[Chorus]
You sing a song and people jump on you
What this guy is saying can't be true
All I'm saying is that some girls don't trip
Stop bugging and mugging if you want to flip
I like the Spice
Open your eyes
Girl you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
[Chorus: x2]
True Steppers, you're out of your mind
Ice Cream, you're out of your mind
10-Below, you're out of your mind
Dane, you're out of your mind
This tune's gonna punish you
Telling me I've gone too far
You must be out of your mind
Telling your friends I was bugging you
That you weren't playing true
Slipping out of your mind
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
[Chorus]
You're out of your mind
Gonna make this really easy
I'm out of my mind
Gonna show you I'm not crazy
Boy you're wasting my time
I'm not wasting your time
You're out of your mind
You're out of your mind
Out of your mind
Thinking you were someone special
Time has shown and now I know
How wrong I have been
Always feeling
That you're using me
Confusing me
Two-timing me
I can't remember
How long has it been
Open your eyes
Boy you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
[Chorus]
You sing a song and people jump on you
What this guy is saying can't be true
All I'm saying is that some girls don't trip
Stop bugging and mugging if you want to flip
I like the Spice
Open your eyes
Girl you trouble me
Expensive lies
But you're playing for free
I gave you what you want
What you need
My time is wasting
But for you it's a breeze
[Chorus: x2]
True Steppers, you're out of your mind
Ice Cream, you're out of your mind
10-Below, you're out of your mind
Dane, you're out of your mind
This tune's gonna punish you
