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.
Fireworks and sparks when the fever starts in your eyes tonight
Explosions of heat and electricity in the firefight
I'm not bound to anything you've said to me
I can't ignore the way you adore my mystery
And I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' home just to see you alone
And I'm falling deeper into love faster than you know
Believe it when I say
Say it say it over again
Everything's better off this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Tonight I just want you to see
I know I've never felt this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Static and sleep in between bedroom sheets in your arms tonight
Keeps us alive when the sparks start to die in the bedroom light
I can't stop this even if you want me to
If you could only see what I see then you'll want me too
And I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' home just to see you alone
And I'm falling deeper into love faster than you know
Believe it when I say
Say it say it over again
Everything's better off this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Tonight I just want you to see
I know I've never felt this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Believe it when I say
Say it say it over again
Everything's better off this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Tonight I just want you to see
I know I've never felt this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Explosions of heat and electricity in the firefight
I'm not bound to anything you've said to me
I can't ignore the way you adore my mystery
And I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' home just to see you alone
And I'm falling deeper into love faster than you know
Believe it when I say
Say it say it over again
Everything's better off this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Tonight I just want you to see
I know I've never felt this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Static and sleep in between bedroom sheets in your arms tonight
Keeps us alive when the sparks start to die in the bedroom light
I can't stop this even if you want me to
If you could only see what I see then you'll want me too
And I'm runnin' runnin' runnin' home just to see you alone
And I'm falling deeper into love faster than you know
Believe it when I say
Say it say it over again
Everything's better off this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Tonight I just want you to see
I know I've never felt this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Believe it when I say
Say it say it over again
Everything's better off this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
Tonight I just want you to see
I know I've never felt this way
And when you think everything's lost
You got me
