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.
All those times when i was down
you picked me up, off of the ground
and i see your face and everything's okay.
When i'm alone you don't hesitate to pick up the phone,
and you always, know just what to say.
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
Maybe now you'll understand just what i think
how i feel, my words are true,
this time it's for real
we try to watch the things that change,
some things that change are for the best,
I hope you see, I'm not like the rest
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
Things just seem better when your around
Your smiling face never has a frown
cuz i lost you once, never again,
cuz your my girl and my best friend
I'm going down, i'm going no where, without you.
I'm going down, i'm going no where, without you.
you picked me up, off of the ground
and i see your face and everything's okay.
When i'm alone you don't hesitate to pick up the phone,
and you always, know just what to say.
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
Maybe now you'll understand just what i think
how i feel, my words are true,
this time it's for real
we try to watch the things that change,
some things that change are for the best,
I hope you see, I'm not like the rest
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
I'm going down, I'm going nowhere without you.
Things just seem better when your around
Your smiling face never has a frown
cuz i lost you once, never again,
cuz your my girl and my best friend
I'm going down, i'm going no where, without you.
I'm going down, i'm going no where, without you.

holy hell this song is genius! there's nothing in this world that gets me up like she does. nothing. i used to be hers...but times change...and "i'm going no where without her". she is my girl, and my best friend...i loved her. everything's better when she's around...i'm such a pathetic kid though. sad nights end in tears over better times we had. i hold on to what we had, but always remember the end...and that hurts...
