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.
Do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well
Here's the thing
I was minding my own business doin' what I do
I wasn't tryna look for anything
All of a sudden couldn't take my eyes off you
I didn't even know if you could tell
That you had me in a daze
Sayin' 'what the hell'
Here's my name, number
Baby just hit my cell
Loving everything you do
'Cause you do it well
Don't know what you got me thinkin'
You ain't even tryina play me boy
'Cause you're so good, and you're so fine
Got me sayin' crazy things, listen
I ain't ever met a man like that, no
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast, no
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well
I ain't ever met a man like that, no
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast, no
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well, oh yeah
Let me tell you how its gonna go
You and me, gonna need a little privacy
I Don't wanna do the dance, no do-si-do
I need a one woman man seven days a week
Quit tryna play it cool
Boy make your move
I told you how it is
Nothin' to lose
You been starin' over here all night for free
And I ain't takin' no cash or credit, just a guarantee
There ain't nobody else but me boy
You ain't even tryna play me boy
'Cause you're so good, and you're so fine
Got me sayin' crazy things, listen
I ain't ever met a man like that, no
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast,no
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well
I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well
Baby not lookin' for false pretenses
I think you just shocked me to my senses
Everything that you do feels right
Do it, do it
Do it, do it all night
Baby not lookin' for false pretenses
I think you just shocked me to my senses
Everything that you do feels right
Do it, do it
Do it, do it all night
I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it
You do it, do it
You're doin' it well
I ain't ever met a man like that
I ain't ever fell so far, so fast
You can turn me on, throw me off track
Boy you do it, do it

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
This song is as sweet as Domino's sugar.
What has she become! I found her so beautiful before. I'm sure nobody around her is proud of her anymore. The song and video totally suck ass btw.
I love thing song!! I think it's Fabulous!!! It was a great fun comeback song for her! I wish Britney's comeback was really good like this song and not shit like the one she just released :-( Oh, and shut up suede!!! Yay for third comment!!
to me this song means that she wasent really looking but when she sees this one guy she really wants him more then anything
oh well... at least it has more lyrics than her usual stuff :D and a story ;)) so hurray for this :D (and it's kinda addictive, btw)
