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.
in at the top of the tower
it was the borttom of the hour
i want it back and its doesn't been hit
Nurse some of this
reacted to the odor
the only thing i'd seen with my eyes
she said
Run Run Run!!
as fast as you can run or you can walk
to give you all some more because you just cant talk.
Run Run Run!!
well dont you know i was yours?
i'm goin on my way
yeah
i'm tired of all the ends
all the ends
and she protects us all in the end
and i said
i'm stuck, but i go out to walk
Im bringin down on tuesday
wednesday, i pay for it
i gave it up
to what i said
leave me in peace
he said
Run Run Run!!
as fast as you can run or you can walk
she give you oh so much because you wont talk
Run Run Run!!
but i said that was yours
im tired of all the ends
all the ends
bringing back to my heart
when i said i was right
but she protects her son standing right there
on the edge
and now its tough
but i go out to watch
it was the borttom of the hour
i want it back and its doesn't been hit
Nurse some of this
reacted to the odor
the only thing i'd seen with my eyes
she said
Run Run Run!!
as fast as you can run or you can walk
to give you all some more because you just cant talk.
Run Run Run!!
well dont you know i was yours?
i'm goin on my way
yeah
i'm tired of all the ends
all the ends
and she protects us all in the end
and i said
i'm stuck, but i go out to walk
Im bringin down on tuesday
wednesday, i pay for it
i gave it up
to what i said
leave me in peace
he said
Run Run Run!!
as fast as you can run or you can walk
she give you oh so much because you wont talk
Run Run Run!!
but i said that was yours
im tired of all the ends
all the ends
bringing back to my heart
when i said i was right
but she protects her son standing right there
on the edge
and now its tough
but i go out to watch
