Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Notes in my drawers, songs in my pockets,
Fragments of letters that you sent,
Leftover phone calls, cologne in the bath
I still have that bottle of Rosé
Staring at your photograph, tryin’ to take it down
There’s still a stirring in my heart
And honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
I’ve never been to half of these places
But your postcard collection makes me crave
A little space, a little ways out of the city to the grace of another land, another tongue, another time
Staring at your photograph, I can’t take it down
There’s still a fire in me yet
Honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Oh honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Oh honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Honey I just can’t
You better believe yeah
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Notes in my drawers, songs in my pockets,
Fragments of letters that you sent,
Leftover phone calls, cologne in the bath
I still have that bottle of Rosé
Staring at your photograph, tryin’ to take it down
There’s still a stirring in my heart
And honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
I’ve never been to half of these places
But your postcard collection makes me crave
A little space, a little ways out of the city to the grace of another land, another tongue, another time
Staring at your photograph, I can’t take it down
There’s still a fire in me yet
Honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
And baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Oh honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Oh honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every morn’n
It’s time that I believe it, home is where you are
Honey I just can’t
You better believe yeah

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I believe the songs about finally coming clean about everything. She finally recognizes that she can't just hide behind her feelings anymore. She was thinking about just not saying her true feelings, but then -
"Staring at your photograph, I can't take it down There's still a fire in me yet,"
makes me think that she's not ready to throw in the towel just yet. It's a beautiful song.
