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.
Sat around and thought about destiny
Which led me to feelings I could not conceive
Because I was holding on to yesterday
Had to let go to find today
Do do do, you're breaking through my boundaries
Do do do, the many moons it took me to find you
Do do do, Do do do, you're burning through
I want to fall in love with you
Sat around and talked about politics
And all the different reasons why we exist
But what if the answer is right in front of me
Turning these pages?
Do do do, you're breaking through my boundaries
Do do do, the many moons it took me to find you
Do do do, Do do do, you're burning through
I want to fall in love with you
It's taken me over
It's taken him over
I'm thinking it over
Do do do, you're breaking through my boundaries
Do do do, the many moons it took me to find you
Do do do, Do do do, you're burning through
I want to fall in love with you
Which led me to feelings I could not conceive
Because I was holding on to yesterday
Had to let go to find today
Do do do, you're breaking through my boundaries
Do do do, the many moons it took me to find you
Do do do, Do do do, you're burning through
I want to fall in love with you
Sat around and talked about politics
And all the different reasons why we exist
But what if the answer is right in front of me
Turning these pages?
Do do do, you're breaking through my boundaries
Do do do, the many moons it took me to find you
Do do do, Do do do, you're burning through
I want to fall in love with you
It's taken me over
It's taken him over
I'm thinking it over
Do do do, you're breaking through my boundaries
Do do do, the many moons it took me to find you
Do do do, Do do do, you're burning through
I want to fall in love with you
