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.
Lately I don't know
But somethings coming over me
Thoughts of stirring up
'Bout stirring up a drink or three
I'm down to go, where the wind blows
So come and follow
Don't wanna leave ya babe
Leave ya babe
So please baby
We could fly
Up, up, up, up high
Blue sky
Up, up, up, up high
Feel the high
Come and take ride
Above the stars were going far
[Chorus:]
If you wanted to have a party
Come on everybody put down your latte
Throw your work aside and come to
Paradise
No frustration on this vacation
This destination, this correlation
No consolation, only sensation
Paradise
Where the water is so clear
That you can see your feet
Dropping coins
In my nature by the coral reef
In every natural treasures
From mother nature
We are so wealthy now, wealthy now
Tell me now
Say goodbye
Buh, buh, buh, buh-bye
To all the tries
Buh, buh, buh, buh-bye
Relax your mind
Open up a wine
And then explore
I'll show you more
[Chorus]
No frustration on this vacation
This destination, this correlation
No consolation, only sensation
Paradise
[Chorus]
No frustration on this vacation
This destination, this correlation
No consolation, only sensation
Paradise
[Chorus]
No frustration on this vacation
This destination, this correlation
No consolation, only sensation
Paradise
But somethings coming over me
Thoughts of stirring up
'Bout stirring up a drink or three
I'm down to go, where the wind blows
So come and follow
Don't wanna leave ya babe
Leave ya babe
So please baby
We could fly
Up, up, up, up high
Blue sky
Up, up, up, up high
Feel the high
Come and take ride
Above the stars were going far
[Chorus:]
If you wanted to have a party
Come on everybody put down your latte
Throw your work aside and come to
Paradise
No frustration on this vacation
This destination, this correlation
No consolation, only sensation
Paradise
Where the water is so clear
That you can see your feet
Dropping coins

We are so wealthy now, wealthy now
Tell me now

Buh, buh, buh, buh-bye
To all the tries
Buh, buh, buh, buh-bye

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”
