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.
If you ever get close to a human
And human behavior
Be ready, be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behavior
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there is no map
They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
Oh, human behavior
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh, oh, and there is no map
Human behavior, human
Human, human behavior, human
Human, human behavior, human
Human behavior, human
And there is no map
And the compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behavior, human, human
Human behavior, human
Human behavior, human
Human behavior
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic (human, human, human behavior)
Human (human behavior)
Human (human, human behavior)
Human
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human, human, human
And human behavior
Be ready, be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behavior
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there is no map
They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
Oh, human behavior
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh, oh, and there is no map
Human behavior, human
Human, human behavior, human
Human, human behavior, human
Human behavior, human
And there is no map
And the compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behavior, human, human
Human behavior, human
Human behavior, human
Human behavior
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic (human, human, human behavior)
Human (human behavior)
Human (human, human behavior)
Human
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human, human, human
