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.
Please tell me you're for real
Because I don't want to bleed no more
As the night fades away
I'm dreaming of you
Please tell me you feel something
Because what I feel is ecstasy
Oh shame on you
You cast your spell on me
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I need you in my life
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
I'm so unprepared
But you don't seem to care
I'm hardly a man
But here I am
I'm not sure what you see
Because what I am is disaster
Spring you came so early
Shine down on me
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I need you in my life
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
And hold on to me
(Caught up in the moment)
Because I don't want to lose you
(I think I'm crazy)
I don't want to become a memory
(Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
So hold on to me
You're a million miles away
But I am still the same as yesterday
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I need you in my life
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
And I need you
(Caught up in the moment
I think I'm crazy
Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
And I miss you
(Caught up in the moment
I think I'm crazy
Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
And I need you
(Caught up in the moment
I think I'm crazy
Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
And I miss you
(Caught up in the moment
I think I'm crazy
Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
Because I don't want to bleed no more
As the night fades away
I'm dreaming of you
Please tell me you feel something
Because what I feel is ecstasy
Oh shame on you
You cast your spell on me
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I need you in my life
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
I'm so unprepared
But you don't seem to care
I'm hardly a man
But here I am
I'm not sure what you see
Because what I am is disaster
Spring you came so early
Shine down on me
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I need you in my life
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
And hold on to me
(Caught up in the moment)
Because I don't want to lose you
(I think I'm crazy)
I don't want to become a memory
(Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
So hold on to me
You're a million miles away
But I am still the same as yesterday
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I need you in my life
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
La da da da
The stars align for you and I tonight
La da da da
I'll take that as a sign
And I need you
(Caught up in the moment
I think I'm crazy
Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
And I miss you
(Caught up in the moment

Ring around the roses, she has me blushing)
And I need you
(Caught up in the moment

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
