You should have ran for days
You embrace you betray
I am sick to say
You're a sad cliché
But when you ran you tripped and fell
On a path that lead you straight to hell
This is my salt in your wounds
This is my "I told you so"

If you knew what I know
Would you move like you do?
With malicious discontent
You went about hell-bent to destroy
But did you have a reason why?

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and
Start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets
In those who you'd never call your friends
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old day and
Start over! Start over!

Can you breathe in, reach and let it out
Thee evil inside that's eating you out tonight
With every venomous move I will suck you up and spit you
Get out of my life
Get out of my sight!

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and
Start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets
In those who you'd never call your friends
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old day and
Start over! Start over!

You let yourself get carried away
Don't act like your ashamed
You let yourself get carried away
Bow your head now, accept the blame
You let yourself get carried away
Bury this with you, a waste
And now it's time to see
What you don't mean to me

Now it's time to see
What you don't mean to me
Now it's time to see
What you don't mean to me

Here's to lowering caskets of old friends
Choice and consequence
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old and
Start over, start over
Here's to burying hatchets
In those who you'd never call your friends
We'll birth a new day with the death of an old day and

    it's way too soft in my opinion and: "it's not over" = "start over" (that's what i hear)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Little Feat
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”
