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.
Wherever we go, whatever we do
We're gonna go through it together
We may not go far, but sure as a star
Wherever we are, it's together
Wherever I go I know he goes
Wherever I go I know she goes
No fits, no fights, no feuds
And no egos, amigos, together
Through thick and through thin
All out or all in
And whether it's win, place or show
With you for me and me for you
We'll muddle through whatever we do
Together, wherever we go
Wherever we go, whatever we do
We're gonna go through it together
Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep
We'll always sleep cheaper together
Whatever the boat I row, you row
A duo
Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe
A trio
And any I O U, I owe you-oh's?
Who, me-oh? No, you-oh
No, we-oh
Together
We all take the bow
Including the cow
Though business is lousy and slow
With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve
Now all we need is someone with nerve
Together (together)
Wherever (wherever)
Together, wherever we go
If I start to dance,
We both start to dance
And sometimes by chance we're together
If I sing B flat (oh)
We both sing B flat (oh)
We all can be flat, ah together
Whatever the trick we can do it
With teamwork we're bound to get through it
There really isn't anything to it, you'd do it
I knew it (we knew it together)
When the audience boos
We don't drop our cues
We always can use what they throw
The fruit may fly but why complain
Tomato sauce goes well with chow mein
Together (together)
Wherever (wherever)
Together, wherever we go
We go in a group, we tour in a troupe
We land in the soup but we know
The things we do, we do by threes
A perfect team, no, this way Louise
Together (together)
Wherever (wherever)
Together, wherever we go
We're gonna go through it together
We may not go far, but sure as a star
Wherever we are, it's together
Wherever I go I know he goes
Wherever I go I know she goes
No fits, no fights, no feuds
And no egos, amigos, together
Through thick and through thin
All out or all in
And whether it's win, place or show
With you for me and me for you
We'll muddle through whatever we do
Together, wherever we go
Wherever we go, whatever we do
We're gonna go through it together
Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep
We'll always sleep cheaper together
Whatever the boat I row, you row
A duo
Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe
A trio
And any I O U, I owe you-oh's?
Who, me-oh? No, you-oh
No, we-oh
Together
We all take the bow
Including the cow
Though business is lousy and slow
With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve
Now all we need is someone with nerve
Together (together)
Wherever (wherever)
Together, wherever we go
If I start to dance,
We both start to dance
And sometimes by chance we're together
If I sing B flat (oh)
We both sing B flat (oh)
We all can be flat, ah together
Whatever the trick we can do it
With teamwork we're bound to get through it
There really isn't anything to it, you'd do it

We land in the soup but we know
The things we do, we do by threes
A perfect team, no, this way Louise
Together (together)
Wherever (wherever)
Together, wherever we go

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
