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.
Stuck in this room motivations sunk deep
Outsides a called place
Yesterday's thoughts to keep
This world seems like miles away
So follow the joke of heresay
A moment in caution still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Living someone else's dream
Stuck in this room I'm forced to fall asleep
I wish I could leave
And you're never what you seemed
This world seems like away
So pretend and follow and everything's ok
Still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Left only to perceive
That the world is wasting away
So pretend it's only one day
And to think you'll end up nowhere
It wouldn't be fair
And within your ride
No one ever drove no one ever cared
Outsides a called place
Yesterday's thoughts to keep
This world seems like miles away
So follow the joke of heresay
A moment in caution still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Living someone else's dream
Stuck in this room I'm forced to fall asleep
I wish I could leave
And you're never what you seemed
This world seems like away
So pretend and follow and everything's ok
Still we live for today
But I'll help you, and I'll be true
Label your words and thoughts lived through greed
Still you find yourself
Left only to perceive
That the world is wasting away
So pretend it's only one day
And to think you'll end up nowhere
It wouldn't be fair
And within your ride
No one ever drove no one ever cared

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”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
wow..obviously not too many ppl have been listening to near miss. someone in my english class told me about them b/c they came to our town for a show..Lake havasu city..and he told me to DL this song and i just luved it.
totally, this band (if you didn't know) has two members from a band called "Bigwig" which was an okay band. But then Singer (Jeremy) and Drummer (Max) made Near Miss. This band is ten million times better than Bigwig. So where is all the publicity.
these guys are an awesome band. tight drums, tight guitars, tight bass. just a rad band overall. i saw them about a month ago at this hole in the wall place in la cinada or something. i got to meet them and we talked for a while these guys are great. i hope to seing them sometime soon.
