He certainly did earn that reputation.
goodbye to love.
i can push you on
right against the wall.
take apart your head
chew it up and swallow it.
goodbye to sins.
wish i could say
im sorry to my ex.
take apart your friends.
take your words back to your mouth
and swallow it.
but ill bet you know
pretty soon youll be back tonight.
ill never be what you have needed
because i never say anything right.
goodbye you liar.
just a step away
but i wish i could inspire.
take apart your brain.
take apart your lovers.
but ill bet you know
pretty soon youll be back tonight.
ill never be what you have needed
because i never say anything right.
i never say anything right.
im on my own.
i never say anything right.
im on my own.
i never say anything right, right?
i miss you all the time when i'm going to bed.
i love you so much that it hurts my head.
your friends are flying in down for the coast.
the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
miss you when you leave and it hurts a lot.
my life is a test and I get bad marks.
and so is this song that you gettin free.
the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
now i never say anything right.
im on my own.
i never say anything right.
im on my own.
i miss you all the time when i'm going to bed.
i love you so much that it hurts my head.
your friends are flying in down for the coast.
the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
miss you when you leave and it hurts a lot.
my life is a test and I get bad marks.
and so is this song that you gettin free.
the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
i can push you on
right against the wall.
take apart your head
chew it up and swallow it.
goodbye to sins.
wish i could say
im sorry to my ex.
take apart your friends.
take your words back to your mouth

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
is there a recording of this or is this just a live one or something?
live, ide bet money it will be on thier new cd
where abouts can i get this..?
Is this leaked yet?
okay seriously. where does ANYONE find this song. i want it now.
I like the lyrics a lot, too bad i can't actually hear what it sounds like put to music.
someone find out where we can hear this song, please.
ah its so amazing!
if anyone knows anywhere to get this, I would be in eternal gratitude. Please let me know.
i've been waiting for someone to put this song up so i could ask where people got it, but it looks like everyone else is in the same boat as i am. i have a 20 second clip of the song live if that would be enough for anyone, if i get the whole song i'll do a yousendit.
yeah id love to hear this song. it must be highly rated by jesse cos some of the lines "i love you so much that it hurts my head" appear on their website.
i want to hear this song... im waiting for that new album... im guessing storm is referring to the friends coming in, and he doesnt like her friends? And is ex referring to Sherri DuPree??
