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.
we're all at home
the tv's on, everyone's quiet
i'm sure this isn't the first time we're alone.
the time flys past
and we still wonder
why our years went by so fast.
and all our fun
had just disappeared
losing each other
is what we all had feared
is what we all had feared
i miss those days
i miss those nights
our exciting talks
and boring fights
i miss those nights
the questions you ask me
theres somethings i just dont know
like where were gonna be,
or where i'm gonna go.
i just think you should know
i'll miss those days
i'll miss those nights
i'll miss those entertaining talks
and those friendly fights
i'll miss those nights
here's to you my friend
"our friendship will never end"
and as we get old
we grow old together
"we'll be friends forever"
your famous words
are you still gonna hang around
the tv's on, everyone's quiet
i'm sure this isn't the first time we're alone.
the time flys past
and we still wonder
why our years went by so fast.
and all our fun
had just disappeared
losing each other
is what we all had feared
is what we all had feared
i miss those days
i miss those nights
our exciting talks
and boring fights
i miss those nights
the questions you ask me
theres somethings i just dont know
like where were gonna be,
or where i'm gonna go.
i just think you should know
i'll miss those days
i'll miss those nights
i'll miss those entertaining talks
and those friendly fights
i'll miss those nights
here's to you my friend
"our friendship will never end"
and as we get old
we grow old together
"we'll be friends forever"
your famous words
are you still gonna hang around

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”
