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.
Maybe you and I
Maybe you maybe another
Could be something that you're thinking about
Maybe you gonna try
Maybe you can be a winner
Maybe you can be an astronaut
Maybe you're gonna cry for a long forgotten lover
Maybe I think you better stop
Maybe you decide that you go and tell your mother
If you have a lot of tears to drop
I can not wait any longer
The time is right to hit the road
And I wonder
Would you follow me?
Maybe you gonna dance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Maybe you don't lie in whatever you deliver
It's just turn your inside out
Well I can't rely, couldn't say it any clearer
Could you tell me, no I doubt
Maybe you gotta try, could be chocolate or banana
Doesn't matter but I guess you won't
Maybe you deny that we complement each other
Maybe I do, maybe you don't
I can not wait any longer
The time is right to hit the road
And I wonder
Would you follow me?
Maybe you gonna dance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Maybe you take a chance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
If you ask me, I don't know
All the chances that we blow
Guess you know what I'm dreaming of
All I want is just to be your love
I can not wait any longer
The time is right to hit the road
And I wonder
Would you follow me?
Maybe you gonna dance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Maybe you take a chance with me
Maybe yes or maybe not
Maybe but actually
It doesn't really matter a lot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Sorry don't remember, oops I forgot
Maybe you maybe another
Could be something that you're thinking about
Maybe you gonna try
Maybe you can be a winner
Maybe you can be an astronaut
Maybe you're gonna cry for a long forgotten lover

If you have a lot of tears to drop
