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.
We've run out of words we've run out of time
We've run out of reasons, really why we together?
We both know it's over baby bottom line
It's best we don't even talk at all
Don't call me even if I should cross your mind
Hard enough, I don't need to hear your voice on my messages
Let's just call it quits it's probably better so if I'm not returning your calls it's cause
Cause I'm not coming back I'm closing the door
I used to be trippin' over missin' you but I'm not any more
I got the picture phone baby, your picture's gone
Couldn't stand to see your smile every time you dialed
Cause it's over girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' 7 don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
Cause it's over I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages don't wanna know where you been
Baby cause it's over
I still wake up every morning quarter to ten
Still eat my cereal right at the kitchen table
I can't even remember how long it's been
When your troubles stayed and occupied
Oh, ask about you whenever I come around
I do what I can not to put my business in the streets
Last thing I need is another episode keep conversations short and sweet because
Cause I'm not coming back I'm closing the door
I used to be trippin' over missin' you but I'm not any more
I got the picture phone baby, your picture's gone
Couldn't stand to see your smile every time you dialed
Cause it's over girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' 7 don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
Cause it's over I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages don't wanna know where you been
Baby cause it's over
You know that it's over when the burnin' and the yearnin' inside your heart ain't there anymore
And you know that you're through when
She don't do to you and move you like the way she moved you before
And you wanna pull her close, but your heart has froze you kiss her but her eyes don't close
Then she goes out of your heart forever and it hurts you but you know that it's better
Girl you know it's over
Girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' 7 don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
Cause it's over I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages don't wanna know where you been
Baby cause it's over
Cause it's over girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' 7 don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
i agree with 'thrwmyhrtawy.'
haha jesse truly IS pure sexxx. i love him and his voice :)
and yeah this songs great. its like hes trying to convince himself hes over this girl...
"and you wanna pull up close, but your heart has froze" = beautiful lyrics
"she goes, I love your heart forever and it hurts you but you know that it’s better"
I think these lyrics are wrong.. and i think it goes:
“she goes OUT OF YOUR HEART FOREVER”.. and it hurts but you know that its better
:)
yes. oh dear god. yes jesse mccartney=sex. end of that discussion.
departure is flawless.
I think it's about a guy that's with a girl but he knows it's time for the relationship to be over. He used to be hung up on her but he's over it now and he's trying to get the memory of her out of his head. He's telling her he swears this time it's really over. He also mentions that he's still going on with his life just like he was before and he doesn't want her calling to tell him what she's been up to. He's going to delete all her messages if she calls him.
i love this song.
and i'm pretty sure he says, "then she goes OUT of your heart forever, it hurts you but you know that it's better"
This actually is exactly how much last breakup just went. I broke up with him, and he told me he couldn't go back to how things used to be. This is a great song to help you realize that it really is over, and to move on and be happy with life.
Does anyone know what he means when he says "I'm pressin' seven."? Does he mean how when you get a message on your phone, to delete it you press seven?
mu5!cl0v3r, he says seven because on cell phones, when you go thru your messages you press 7 to delete. atleast thats how mine is...it says "To delete this message Press 7 now."
Okay yeah my cell does that too. I just thought it was an odd lyric.
