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.
A year out of college
a year into debt
And I still haven't moved out of my parents house yet
A year out of college
a year at home
In the house I grew up in, I feel alone
Well I don't know where I'm gonna be
In a few short years or a couple of weeks
But I swear to god, I'll be on my way
It might not happen tomorrow,
But it will some day
I'm always afraid of being found out
As liar and a coward and full of doubt
and when my friends find out, will they all leave
or maybe they'll just realize they're just like me
a year into debt
And I still haven't moved out of my parents house yet
A year out of college
a year at home
In the house I grew up in, I feel alone
Well I don't know where I'm gonna be
In a few short years or a couple of weeks
But I swear to god, I'll be on my way
It might not happen tomorrow,
But it will some day
I'm always afraid of being found out
As liar and a coward and full of doubt
and when my friends find out, will they all leave
or maybe they'll just realize they're just like me
