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.
You're miles away and my heart beats fast
And I miss you so bad I won't last
So I boot it up and await for the sign
It's tellin' me babe, we're online
Connection's made and I surf it to you
I see a picture with eye's so blue
Did the aircon fail cause I'm hotter than hell
The rest is secrets I can't tell
Yes I like to touch
You know I like to taste
But without you it's never quite the same
Boy it ain't no use
One thing for a girl to do
Download it
Download it
Gotta shoot that smile for me
If you download it
Download it
I'll be safe in the arms of love
Download it
Download it
Next best thing to reality
If you download it
Download it
I'll be safe in the arms of love
I close my eyes and the image appears
You're the dream that I dream is right here
No I wont deny what my body needs
So we'll do what you do till I feel
The pleasure pain, and I whisper your name
I lose conciousness for a time
Come round you're gone screen saver's on
When you ain't here you blow my mind
Yes I like to touch (like to touch)
You know I like to taste (like to taste)
But without you it's never quite the same
Never quite the same)
