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.
(Yeah)
Many times I walk the line
I rolled the dice and questioned my life
Many times I sacrificed and dealt with the pain
I been d own this road before
Where the dead ends are, it rains and it pours
I been down below, and it's the past that I paint
Well, I know how it feels when you have to start again
Now there's no one to save me
I know how it feels when the world is gonna end, but they'll see
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
Look into my eyes you'll see a graveyard filled with dirt and defeat
Look into my eyes and see the weight on my soul
Where the fallen angels sleep, the crooked hearts and crossroads meet
Where the haters say my name and carve it in stone
I know how it feels when I haven't got a friend even when they're standing beside me
I know how it feels when the word is gonna end, but they'll see
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
Risk it all, I"m gonna risk it all
I'm gonna break my back and risk it all
I'm gonna pick my spot, take my shot, swallow my pride, and risk it all
I'm gonna risk it all and I won't look back
I'm gonna pick my spot, take my shot, swallow my pride, and risk it all
The lights on, the last round
The dark horse keeps on fighting
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
Many times I walk the line
I rolled the dice and questioned my life
Many times I sacrificed and dealt with the pain
I been d own this road before
Where the dead ends are, it rains and it pours
I been down below, and it's the past that I paint
Well, I know how it feels when you have to start again
Now there's no one to save me
I know how it feels when the world is gonna end, but they'll see
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
Look into my eyes you'll see a graveyard filled with dirt and defeat
Look into my eyes and see the weight on my soul
Where the fallen angels sleep, the crooked hearts and crossroads meet
Where the haters say my name and carve it in stone
I know how it feels when I haven't got a friend even when they're standing beside me
I know how it feels when the word is gonna end, but they'll see
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
Risk it all, I"m gonna risk it all
I'm gonna break my back and risk it all
I'm gonna pick my spot, take my shot, swallow my pride, and risk it all
I'm gonna risk it all and I won't look back
I'm gonna pick my spot, take my shot, swallow my pride, and risk it all
The lights on, the last round
The dark horse keeps on fighting
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight

I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time, yeah
