Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step.
Rock!

Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, really want you in my world
Step! Hey, girl, in your eyes I see your picture of me all the time
Step! And, girl, when you smile you got to know that you drive me wild
Step by step, oh, baby, you're always on my mind
Step by step, oh, girl, I really think it's just a matter of time

Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, really want you in my world
Step! Hey, girl, can't you see I've got to have you all just for me
Step! Hey, girl, yes, it's true, no one else will ever do
Step by step, oh, baby, you're always on my mind
Step by step, oh, girl, I really think it's just a matter of time

Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, really want you in my world
Step! Step! Step! Step by step!

Step one! We can have lots of fun
Step two! There's so much we can do
Step three! It's just you and me
Step four! I can give you more
Step five! Don't you know that the time is right. Huh!

Step by step. Don't you know I need you
Step by step. Yes, I do, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, you're always on my mind
Step by step, oh, girl, I really think it's just a matter of time

Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, really want you in my world
Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, really want you in my world
Step by step, oh, baby, gonna get to you, girl
Step by step, oh, baby, really want you in my world

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
