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.
Yes where all the buildings work and buildings stand around and where the
framework sits still bolted slightly holding to the ground and when I'm in and
out of work oh baby I'm in and out of town in and out of jobs so much my feet
don't touch the ground.
3 pictures of color between you and the sun in the longest distance a rider
approach he sat and he spoke of the night clubs and homes and of shock and
surprise that they left you through the gate.
Can't be the city cause the city never gets caught sleeping be the city cause
the city never stays can't be the city cause the city never gets caught sleeping
let the water cool your water bitch you break take the burning tongue and
eardrums down to the lake
I don't want to be a light you wear around your wrist.
framework sits still bolted slightly holding to the ground and when I'm in and

surprise that they left you through the gate.
Can't be the city cause the city never gets caught sleeping be the city cause
the city never stays can't be the city cause the city never gets caught sleeping
let the water cool your water bitch you break take the burning tongue and

I don't want to be a light you wear around your wrist.

I'm prettty sure these are the cirrect lyrics: Three pixels of color between you and the sun, in the longest distance a rider approached, and he sat and he spoke of the night clubs and homes, Yes where all the buildings work and buildings stand around and where the framework sits still bolted slightly holding to the ground and when I'm in and out of work oh baby I'm in and out of town in and out of jobs so much my feet don't touch the ground.Can't be the city cause the city never gets caught sleeping be the city cause the city never stays can't be the city cause the city never gets caught sleeping let the water cool your water bitch you break take the burning tongue and eardrums down to the lake, i wanna be a light you wear around your wrist, you wear around your wrist, you wear around it, i wanna be the light around your wrist
so i think thoes are right, anyway i think this song is about a working guy that got a taste of what the good life could be, but he knows he can never be part of it
and of shock and surpirse as they let you through the gate,
