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.
A week or a day since you took your touch away
A second that was mine is now in the past
I've been tryin' to hide all that you left behind
I'm protected by hope that one day you'll be back
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by
It's Time
Every word that you said is still alive inside my head
The footprints of your eyes were deep in my mind
I want to move on but history is hard in me still
I'm trapped in the loop still I give us a chance
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by
It's Time
A second that was mine is now in the past
I've been tryin' to hide all that you left behind
I'm protected by hope that one day you'll be back
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by
It's Time
Every word that you said is still alive inside my head
The footprints of your eyes were deep in my mind
I want to move on but history is hard in me still
I'm trapped in the loop still I give us a chance
Spendin' my time waitin' for your heart to find a moment that is mine
I'm countin' on time to bring your love back to me
Don't let it pass you by
It's Time

Silent Planet
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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i totally love this song. i can relate to it in a way from when my ex-boyfriend broke up with me last year, i totally felt this way for about a couple months.
whats up with me and you tho? nah i felt the same way too wen my girl broke up with me. but as for now, i like this other girl and she likes me but i still feel something for my ex. i know she'll come back but idk who to choose.

BEST SONG EVAR.
