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'm searching for the words to say
I'm sorry that sometimes they slip away
When nights grow long and the drinks are stronger
I find myself stuck in yesterday
Cause I, I don't know where I'm going
Half of the time, half of the time
The road is long wherever I'm going
Lets make it through today
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someway
Someday
The road seems longer wherever I'm headed
On both sides people are passing me by
Like my whole life has just been one big circle
I'm hoping you might show me a sign
Cause I, I don't know where we're going
Half of the time, but we
Will be sure we get there together
The road is long wherever I'm going
Lets make it through today
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someway
We'll get there someday, we'll get there someday
Still searching for the words to say
I'm sorry girl somehow they slipped away
You're the only place that my light is still glowing
If it's all the same I think I'll follow you
The road is long wherever I'm going
Lets make it through today
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someday
There's so far to go but each day we get closer
To where we want to stay
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someway, someday
I'm sorry that sometimes they slip away
When nights grow long and the drinks are stronger
I find myself stuck in yesterday
Cause I, I don't know where I'm going
Half of the time, half of the time
The road is long wherever I'm going
Lets make it through today
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someway
Someday
The road seems longer wherever I'm headed
On both sides people are passing me by
Like my whole life has just been one big circle
I'm hoping you might show me a sign
Cause I, I don't know where we're going
Half of the time, but we
Will be sure we get there together
The road is long wherever I'm going
Lets make it through today
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someway
We'll get there someday, we'll get there someday
Still searching for the words to say
I'm sorry girl somehow they slipped away
You're the only place that my light is still glowing
If it's all the same I think I'll follow you
The road is long wherever I'm going
Lets make it through today
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someday
There's so far to go but each day we get closer
To where we want to stay
Clouds roll in but the sun is still showing
We'll get there someway, someday
