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.
One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
Said, from the Bow'ry to St. Marks
There's a syncopated beat
Said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise, I can improvise
Said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetsmart, I've got New York City heart
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire (mmm hmm)
The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Said, you can own this town
You can wear the crown
Why should I worry? Tell me
Why should I care?
Said, I may not have a dime
Oh, but I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire
Ev'rything goes
Ev'rything fits
They love me at the Chelsea
They adore me at the Ritz
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
And even when I cross that line
I got street savoire faire (woo hoo)
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Said hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Said, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo (woah hoo)
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo (aw)
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
Said, from the Bow'ry to St. Marks
There's a syncopated beat
Said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise, I can improvise
Said, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetsmart, I've got New York City heart
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
I may not have a dime
But I got street savoire faire
Why should I worry?
Why should I care?
It's just bebopulation
And I got street saviore faire (mmm hmm)
The rhythm of the city
But once you get it down
Said, you can own this town
You can wear the crown

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.
