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.
you're on fire
i can feel the heat
i like the way you dance
like you really feel it
let's get together
make it last forever
teach me how to move my feet
with a beat
looking like
i just might
finally get my way tonight
you and i
dim the lights
and move with the music
you're on fire
oh, oh, oh, the heat
i like the way you look at me
just can't believe it
let's not waste the evening
speaking double meanings
i just want to shake my feet
with the beat
looking like
i just might
finally get my way tonight
you and i
dim the lights
and move with the music
we both want to go
so what's the hold up?
if you've got something to show
show me now
we both want to go
so what's the hold up?
looking like
i just might
finally get my way tonight
you and i
dim the lights
and move with the music
i can feel the heat
i like the way you dance
like you really feel it
let's get together
make it last forever
teach me how to move my feet
with a beat
looking like
i just might
finally get my way tonight
you and i
dim the lights
and move with the music
you're on fire
oh, oh, oh, the heat
i like the way you look at me
just can't believe it
let's not waste the evening
speaking double meanings
i just want to shake my feet
with the beat
looking like
i just might
finally get my way tonight
you and i
dim the lights
and move with the music
we both want to go
so what's the hold up?
if you've got something to show
show me now
we both want to go
so what's the hold up?
looking like
i just might
finally get my way tonight
you and i
dim the lights
and move with the music
