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.
When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith, faith in me
CHORUS:
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here baby
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
i will catch your, i will catch your fall
Just have a little faith, faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
Well, I've been loving you for such a long long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, i will hold you up
And your love gives me strength enough to have a little faith in me
oh, have faith , oh, darling
Have a Little Faith In me
Faith
And you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
When the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith, faith in me
CHORUS:
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here baby
From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
i will catch your, i will catch your fall
Just have a little faith, faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith, faith in me
Well, I've been loving you for such a long long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, i will hold you up
And your love gives me strength enough to have a little faith in me
oh, have faith , oh, darling
Have a Little Faith In me
Faith
