He certainly did earn that reputation.
It's over, our love affair
Too late now, I find I care
Her sweet love never more I'll share
Now she's gone, I'm alone
I was wrong, should have known
Took her home after our last date
I searched for a simple way
To tell her what I had to say
And I kissed her, then I turned away
Set her free foolishly
Destiny, misery
Tragedy on our last date
Took my ring from my trembling finger
Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes
Walked away, didn't know
That I'll soon miss her so
I guess I was too young to realize
So blind, I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind, in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date
Too late now, I find I care
Her sweet love never more I'll share
Now she's gone, I'm alone
I was wrong, should have known
Took her home after our last date
I searched for a simple way
To tell her what I had to say
And I kissed her, then I turned away
Set her free foolishly
Destiny, misery
Tragedy on our last date
Took my ring from my trembling finger
Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes
Walked away, didn't know
That I'll soon miss her so
I guess I was too young to realize
So blind, I couldn't see
How much she really meant to me
And that soon she would always be
On my mind, in my heart
I was blind from the start
Lost her love on our last date

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.
