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.
I can barely see
Through this window that's in front of me
But I'll take it as it comes
It seems to me that what will be, will be
If I could know what's coming next
I'd take it faster into every turn
But then I'd crash and burn
There's a lesson that I'll never learn
I'm watching the lines that fly beneath me
And hoping they lead me to paradise
Driving wherever the road wants to take me
Don't look behind just move on and on and...
On and on we drive
The faster we move the more we feel alive
Adrenaline is life
And sometimes life can cut you like a knife
But the pain will go away
And everything will be alright someday
If you're looking straight ahead
There's no telling how the ride will end
I'm watching the lines that fly beneath me
And hoping they lead me to paradise
Driving wherever the road wants to take me
Feel like it's all just a roll of the dice
On and on we drive
The faster we move the more we feel alive
Adrenaline is love
And sometimes love can fit you like a glove
I can barely see
Through this window that's in front of me
But I'll take it as it comes
It seems to me that what will be, will be
Through this window that's in front of me
But I'll take it as it comes
It seems to me that what will be, will be
If I could know what's coming next
I'd take it faster into every turn
But then I'd crash and burn
There's a lesson that I'll never learn
I'm watching the lines that fly beneath me
And hoping they lead me to paradise
Driving wherever the road wants to take me
Don't look behind just move on and on and...
On and on we drive
The faster we move the more we feel alive
Adrenaline is life
And sometimes life can cut you like a knife
But the pain will go away
And everything will be alright someday
If you're looking straight ahead
There's no telling how the ride will end
I'm watching the lines that fly beneath me
And hoping they lead me to paradise
Driving wherever the road wants to take me
Feel like it's all just a roll of the dice
On and on we drive
The faster we move the more we feel alive
Adrenaline is love
And sometimes love can fit you like a glove
I can barely see
Through this window that's in front of me
But I'll take it as it comes
It seems to me that what will be, will be
