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.
Words I keep in here
Thoughts that make me scared
Always seem to show
Your eyes let me know you know
It's not you
It's all me
As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out (x2)
What i'd like to say
Is that staying friends is okay
But you and me we know
That in one heart love would grow
It's not you
It's all me
As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out (x2)
Same time tomorrow
When I wake up
Will the violins be playing
When my heart finally opens
Will you be there to embrace me
Because it's all so crazy now
it's all so fucked up now
It's not you
It's all me
As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out (x3)
I always thought that I
Would find what I lack in you
Thoughts that make me scared
Always seem to show
Your eyes let me know you know
It's not you
It's all me
As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out (x2)
What i'd like to say
Is that staying friends is okay
But you and me we know
That in one heart love would grow
It's not you
It's all me
As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out (x2)
Same time tomorrow
When I wake up
Will the violins be playing
When my heart finally opens
Will you be there to embrace me
Because it's all so crazy now
it's all so fucked up now
It's not you
It's all me
As if me taking all the blame would make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out (x3)
I always thought that I
Would find what I lack in you
