Lose The Dink

Screeching Weasel

i haven't slept in days and i'm cruisin' on fumes
i hope my babbling is something you'll excuse
that guy will never be the man his mother was
so lose the dink and tell me who you love.

he cannot give you anything that you could need
you must be sick of promises he doesn't keep
i have no doubts this clown is not the boy for you
so lose the dink and tell me who you choose

i'll take you to niagra falls
spray paint your name on alley walls
and by the way my chorus blows

it goes heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy

it seems i'm just planning by numbers all the time
i can't keep thoughts of you and assface from my mind
i think you're making such a terrible mistake
so lose the dink and give this boy a break

i'll take you up to south paris
i'll get you in the zoo for free.
sorry this chorus is so weak

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

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”

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
