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.
Woke up alone again
Stumbling around this cold hotel room
Yeah, I lost myself again
And my guitar's still out of tune
People tell me things, like I'll never get it
Tell me to give up, tell me to forget it
Save yourself - safe yourself
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Kiss me good, cause I
Don't know how long, this one's gonna take
I could fail, but I'd
Rather be a fuckup, than a fake
People tell me things, like I'll never get it
Tell me to give up, they tell me to forget it
Save yourself - safe yourself
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Don't you let up
Keep your head up
Need to get up
No going back again, no going back again, no
I'm not listening
So stop your preaching
And save yourself - safe yourself
It's all I ever wantedâ?¦ ooh
Don't pass me over
I've got old ghosts, of my own
I'm moving out today
Yeah, I finally going home
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive
[Chorus 2]
It's just another crazy kind of day (it's just another - crazy day)
I wouldn't want it any other way (I wouldn't want it, I wouldn't want it)
It's gonna be like
Jumping on a ride, that never ends (jumping on a ride, that never ends)
I'm never ever going back again
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Stumbling around this cold hotel room
Yeah, I lost myself again
And my guitar's still out of tune
People tell me things, like I'll never get it
Tell me to give up, tell me to forget it
Save yourself - safe yourself
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Kiss me good, cause I
Don't know how long, this one's gonna take
I could fail, but I'd
Rather be a fuckup, than a fake
People tell me things, like I'll never get it
Tell me to give up, they tell me to forget it
Save yourself - safe yourself
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live
Don't you let up
Keep your head up
Need to get up
No going back again, no going back again, no
I'm not listening
So stop your preaching
And save yourself - safe yourself
It's all I ever wantedâ?¦ ooh
Don't pass me over
I've got old ghosts, of my own
I'm moving out today
Yeah, I finally going home
[Chorus 1]
It's just another crazy kind of day
I wouldn't want it any other way
It's gonna be like
Running to the sun, and back again
I'm never giving up, or giving in
Cause I don't wanna survive
[Chorus 2]
It's just another crazy kind of day (it's just another - crazy day)
I wouldn't want it any other way (I wouldn't want it, I wouldn't want it)
It's gonna be like
Jumping on a ride, that never ends (jumping on a ride, that never ends)
I'm never ever going back again
Cause I don't wanna survive - I wanna live

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
