It could rain for a thousand days
Or something i don't know
Look to the sun and we're having fun
Beside the river flow
You're doing this and you're doing that
Workin' all the time
Tonight you'll call me on the phone
You've got a worried mind

And when you leave
You'll go away
Gone to stay
Don't feel so bad
It was nice what we had
You'll be glad

I'll miss you

There's a moon and it's bright tonight
The sun has gone away
Stop the sweat and i'll feel alright
You know i like it this way
You're packin' stuff for your big, big move
In just a couple of days
You'll be off on you're big, big cruise
Across the USA

And when you leave
You'll go away
Gone to stay
Don't feel so bad
It was nice what we had
You'll be glad

I'll miss you
I'll miss you
I'll miss you

    I first discovered this track while watching the movie, "Beautiful Girls." I ended up buying the movie and the soundtrack. Glad I did! This song had a great impact on me because my wife left me to move "across the USA," to be with another man she'd met while attending a NASCAR race in North Carolina.

    It’s a sentimental love song about your partner moving away. A la Birthday Boy, another song by Ween. This is a song that was written for the movie Beautiful Girls, and is a song that Ween actually has performed live.

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.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
