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.
Light it up
We've been a little more than just friends,
And in most cases that's just where it ends
But I took the time to stoke up your flame
Can I get a witness to back up my claim?
Now I'm standing so close to your fire
If I say that I quit ya, you can call me a liar!
Now we've been a little more than just friends
And where we go now I guess that depends
If I get myself caught up in your scene-
Black hair, black coffee, and hard nicotine
I can't sleep
I can't eat
Need you to hold my hand before I can cross the street!
Oh yeah, she's all that
Oh yeah, she's all that
Sugar, you're my comfort, whoa yeah, makes me me
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
I'm her silver dollar, she's my slot machine
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah why not? Come on she's my nicotine
That's right
We've been a little more than just friends
Where we go now I guess that depends
Uh huh
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
Sugar, you're my comfort, whoa yeah, makes me me
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
She's my V8 motor, I'm her gasoline
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
I'm her silver dollar she's my slot machine
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah why not? Come on she's my nicotine
Nicotine
My nicotine
Oh yeah she's
Yes she's
Yes she is!
We've been a little more than just friends,
And in most cases that's just where it ends
But I took the time to stoke up your flame
Can I get a witness to back up my claim?
Now I'm standing so close to your fire
If I say that I quit ya, you can call me a liar!
Now we've been a little more than just friends
And where we go now I guess that depends
If I get myself caught up in your scene-
Black hair, black coffee, and hard nicotine
I can't sleep
I can't eat
Need you to hold my hand before I can cross the street!
Oh yeah, she's all that
Oh yeah, she's all that
Sugar, you're my comfort, whoa yeah, makes me me
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
I'm her silver dollar, she's my slot machine
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah why not? Come on she's my nicotine
That's right
We've been a little more than just friends
Where we go now I guess that depends
Uh huh
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
Sugar, you're my comfort, whoa yeah, makes me me
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
She's my V8 motor, I'm her gasoline
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
I'm her silver dollar she's my slot machine
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah she's all that
Oh yeah why not? Come on she's my nicotine
Nicotine
My nicotine
Oh yeah she's
Yes she's
Yes she is!

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This band needs more attention.
