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.
Every time I see you, you're trying to take me home
And it makes me wonder, if we were to get it on
Would you take the time to touch me(touch me)
And take me in to extacy yeah
[Chorus: x2]
And I wonder if I take you home
Would you give me your love baby
Would you fulfill my fantasy's
Or would you just admit wrong (would you just admit wrong)
Mommy what's up with you
I just want to get to know you better
Mommy you tight word
And I know I can get you wetter
I know you hear this a lot
And I know you fed up
I know life is hard, but you gotta keep your head up
You got the real game, check
Nail game, check
Hair game, check
Everything, check
That's why I can't wait to slip off your clothes and lick you from head to toe
And give you some of this fine head til you explode
I want to make you cum til you can cum no more
I want to see you girl, roll your toes
I want to be the one to turn you out
I'ma show you what I be about
I'm not a hot boy, I'ma hot man
That'll eat yo ass, til you say god damn
Girl I love this
And if you think you got some undefeated tyson pussy, bitch I'll bust a Douglas
[Chorus: x2]
I want to be that man, that you've, never had before
I want to be that man, that'll put it on you fast and slow
I want to be, everything that you need baby and more
It would be no fun, if I told you everything that's in store
You've got those body parts, I just want to explore
Coma with me loco, ven paca mi amor
You got my two boys, below my waistline, singing the blues
Tell me baby, honestly, what is it exactly you got to lose
Nothing there's always some time in the wall*
And now you know you want some more
I'ma have you going crazy, praising the lord
I fuck like I rap, hardcore
I'm not a hot boy, I'ma hot man
That'll eat yo ass, til you say god damn
Girl I love this
And if you think you got some undefeated tyson pussy, bitch I'll bust a douglas
[Chorus: x4]
And it makes me wonder, if we were to get it on
Would you take the time to touch me(touch me)
And take me in to extacy yeah
[Chorus: x2]
And I wonder if I take you home
Would you give me your love baby
Would you fulfill my fantasy's
Or would you just admit wrong (would you just admit wrong)
Mommy what's up with you
I just want to get to know you better
Mommy you tight word
And I know I can get you wetter
I know you hear this a lot
And I know you fed up
I know life is hard, but you gotta keep your head up
You got the real game, check
Nail game, check
Hair game, check
Everything, check
That's why I can't wait to slip off your clothes and lick you from head to toe
And give you some of this fine head til you explode
I want to make you cum til you can cum no more
I want to see you girl, roll your toes
I want to be the one to turn you out
I'ma show you what I be about
I'm not a hot boy, I'ma hot man
That'll eat yo ass, til you say god damn
Girl I love this
And if you think you got some undefeated tyson pussy, bitch I'll bust a Douglas
[Chorus: x2]
I want to be that man, that you've, never had before
I want to be that man, that'll put it on you fast and slow
I want to be, everything that you need baby and more
It would be no fun, if I told you everything that's in store

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”
