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.
open EVERYTHING around . how I want to say KISS me . you don’t want to RUIN ANYTHING . DARING and BEAUTIFUL stones . AIM at me . you never AIM at ME . cursed with NEVER BEING SEEIN in your dreams . I’ll walk around DEAD to you . I’ll lie around DEAD to me . I FEEL soon . you’ll wake with IMAGINARY dreams . and wanting to hold this MEMORY . ALWAYS WONDERING who’s coming to save . who’s SAVING me . cursed with NEVER BEING SEEN in your dreams . I’ll walk around DEAD to you . I’ll lie around DEAD to me . open EVERYTHING around so all can see . how fast you waved GOOD BYE
