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.
I wanted to make things easier but instead I complicated them
I wish I'd learn to keep my big mouth shut
We were so happy as one, I made a call now we are done
Now I am alone but day and night I think about you
How could I not think about you?
All these days are feeling so true to be told I can't be with you
I don't care about nothing else, until you say you're mine again
Sexi Lexi, where did you go?
I didn't want it to be this way
You think it is better, but I think it is worse
Why can't things be the same as yesterday?
I liked it when you were my girl, liked when I was your guy
Now we're strangers, I want to know why
I really want to call you but what if you don't want me to
I don't know if I could deal with that kind of rejection
So many times I've tried to make it up to you
So many times I've tried to love you, I wanna be with you
So many times I've tried to try and try and try and try
So many times I've tried to try...I wanna be with you.
I wish I'd learn to keep my big mouth shut
We were so happy as one, I made a call now we are done
Now I am alone but day and night I think about you
How could I not think about you?
All these days are feeling so true to be told I can't be with you
I don't care about nothing else, until you say you're mine again
Sexi Lexi, where did you go?
I didn't want it to be this way
You think it is better, but I think it is worse
Why can't things be the same as yesterday?
I liked it when you were my girl, liked when I was your guy
Now we're strangers, I want to know why
I really want to call you but what if you don't want me to
I don't know if I could deal with that kind of rejection
So many times I've tried to make it up to you
So many times I've tried to love you, I wanna be with you
So many times I've tried to try and try and try and try
So many times I've tried to try...I wanna be with you.

They've..made...it...to...ENGLAND?!?!
Just...shocking. They put on a great show, started with this when they played the free show at PSU-Behrend last weekend. Then they wandered around Meadville. An odd bunch, you've gotta give them that.
