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.
Wanna see you with it
Sure could treat you right
Give me just a minute
Of your time tonight
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
I know you're in to groovin'
Love your body language
Baby, let me know
You've got me sort of anxious
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
So let it whip (let's whip it, baby)
Child (let's whip it right)
Get a grip (let's whip it baby)
(Whip it all night)
Well, what's your trip? (Oh no)
Child
C'mon let it whip
Oh-hoo
Now that we can see
How you groove with me
What else can I do
To get closer to you
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
We have the natural feeling
Obviously revealing
Let me be your paper man
I'd love to be your joker man
We both are here to have good fun
So let it whip
So let it whip (let's whip it, baby)
Child (let's whip it right)
Get a grip (let's whip it baby)

There is no time to lose

I only wanna be with you
You're the one for me
Can't you see that I

Something divine in you
