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.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
She's not at work, she's not at school
She's not in bed, I think I finally broke her
I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead
A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
I thought you'd be there holding Daisy, you always wait for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
She's not at work, she's not at school
She's not in bed, I think I finally broke her
I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
I found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead
A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens
I thought she'd be there holding daisies, she always waits for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
I thought you'd be there holding Daisy, you always wait for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars, she's out back counting stars
