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.
I've got nothing left
For you to take away
I know you blame me
For every time you walked away
So what
You hate me and everything
I seem to do
So look back
Don't turn away
It was my face that you were lying to
And in my life you could find
Everything just separates
And in my life you could find
Everything you want to take away
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
So what
It's not the same
Every word out of your mouth is shit
So look back
Don't turn away
I'm sick, I'm through
And I'm fed up with this
And in my life you could find
Everything just separates
And in my life you could find
Everything you want to take away
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
[whispers] Please, take it all from me
[whispers] Please, take it all from me
It's all, it's all
As everything just separates
I know, I know
You give but you take it all away
So what
You hate me and everything
I seem to do
I know you
You blame me for everytime
I walk out on you
I've got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
For you to take away
I know you blame me
For every time you walked away
So what
You hate me and everything
I seem to do
So look back
Don't turn away
It was my face that you were lying to
And in my life you could find
Everything just separates
And in my life you could find
Everything you want to take away
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
So what
It's not the same
Every word out of your mouth is shit
So look back
Don't turn away
I'm sick, I'm through
And I'm fed up with this
And in my life you could find
Everything just separates
And in my life you could find
Everything you want to take away
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
[whispers] Please, take it all from me
[whispers] Please, take it all from me
It's all, it's all
As everything just separates
I know, I know
You give but you take it all away
So what
You hate me and everything
I seem to do
I know you
You blame me for everytime
I walk out on you
I've got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
