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.
Well, he walks right, he talks right
Knows what makes them girls feel fine
He's got a way with women
And he just got away with mine
He drives a big car like a big star
Plays a guitar that bluesy kind
He's got a way with women
And he just got away with mine
No, he didn't ride up wearin' shinin' armor
Ridin' on a milk white steed
But he gave 'em quite a performance
This I must concede, yes, yes
[Chorus]
No, he didn't ride up wearin' shinin' armor
Ridin' on a milk white steed
But he gave 'em quite a performance
This I must concede, yes, yes
[Chorus]
Gonna say one more time
'Cause this gentlemen is so darn smooth
He's got a way with women
And he just got away with mine
Knows what makes them girls feel fine
He's got a way with women
And he just got away with mine
He drives a big car like a big star
Plays a guitar that bluesy kind
He's got a way with women
And he just got away with mine
No, he didn't ride up wearin' shinin' armor
Ridin' on a milk white steed
But he gave 'em quite a performance
This I must concede, yes, yes
[Chorus]
No, he didn't ride up wearin' shinin' armor
Ridin' on a milk white steed
But he gave 'em quite a performance
This I must concede, yes, yes
[Chorus]
Gonna say one more time
'Cause this gentlemen is so darn smooth
He's got a way with women
And he just got away with mine
