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.
She likes chocolate in the morning
She drinks her coffee late at night
You can sense that she is guarded
But that's alright
She'll fall asleep while your still talking
With unfinished books beside her bed
She'll cancel all of her appointments
And go shopping instead
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd expect
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
She loves to watch the sunset
But she is partial to the rain
With those tears and that umbrella
Her allure goes unexplained
You made dinner in your apartment
You both assume that she'll be late
She always has the best intentions
Her goodness is innate
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd expect
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
I like chocolate in the morning
I drink my coffee late at night
She drinks her coffee late at night
You can sense that she is guarded
But that's alright
She'll fall asleep while your still talking
With unfinished books beside her bed
She'll cancel all of her appointments
And go shopping instead
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd expect
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
She loves to watch the sunset
But she is partial to the rain
With those tears and that umbrella
Her allure goes unexplained
You made dinner in your apartment
You both assume that she'll be late
She always has the best intentions
Her goodness is innate
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd expect
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
And in spite of what is right
Far beyond what she'd except
When the moon begs the question
Will you have the answer yet?
Can't you just adore her?
Can't you just adore her?
I like chocolate in the morning
I drink my coffee late at night
