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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song represents the cynicism bred from living in an oppressive society. When Melvin sings “I gotta pee” the seventh time, he is not only drawing upon Orwellian rhetoric but also Freudian theory. He expresses his feelings that by being led to cynicism so often, you often find yourself being pessimistic not because you are fundamentally opposed to an issue, but out of force of habit.
I think the way he finishes by saying “I gotta poop” he is changing his way of life — by relieving himself.
I was recently talking to Fat Mike (the songs lyricist) at a show, and he told me since writing this song, he has continued to poop — often twice a day. He said it helps him keep a level head.
obviously....the man has to pee and then gets the sudden urge to poo. LOL man this song is great..it's funny especially if you hear it cuz he says it really fast and the song as a whole is like 15 seconds lol
I think about it every time I need to go, AND I CANT!!!!
There is clearly a hidden meaning here...nah, there isn't. He just has to pee.
This song is obviously a huge metaphor for the fascist oppressors of corporate America trying to assimilate...Just Fuckin with ya...It's about peeing. L0LX0R3D!
what does this song means to YOU
This song is about an epic jorny about a man who all the sudden has to pee
he hears a countdown in his head and starts running while screaming " I GOTTA PEE" and does not really care where he pee's and as soon as he pee's and feels better he all the sudden has to poop and the cycle begins again
truly a heart felt song
Reminds me of that time I had a golden/ brown shower........
people who post long meanings to this songs are idiots. Most likely foreign fans who think they know whats up but live a million miles away
According to the comic strip Sarah's Scribbles, here are times where one really needs to pee: 1)After getting into bed, 2)When roommates or family members just go into the shower, and 3) Just after getting ready to go for a five hour drive. Sarah must be singing this song when these situations occur and she really needs to pee.
