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.
Turn the lights off
I be representin', representin'
I be representin', representin'
Luda, yeah you representin' for bad bitches all around the world
The way you put it down in between the sheets is like no other girl
You done take it a whole another level of freakiness When you blow my mind
To the point where all these other women kinda feelin' like you stole their shine
So I better come with it
Ha, and I better come split it
And I admit that I'm feeling a little pressure, when you're telling me I better come get it
Ha but I'm the man for the job
Can't nobody do it quite like I do
And the same go for you, we a match made in heaven, I'ma stand right by you
Why you saying?
Just wanna keep all your attention, baby
Yeah, alright, alright, alright, hey
It turns me on to know I turn you on, yeah okay, okay, okay
Hey can I grab the wheel and drive you crazy
Yeah, alright, alright, alright, hey
Sit in the front row and watch me perform
Hm you do that and you gonna learn today, hey
I'll be representin' (get on that thang), representing (get on that thang)
(Get on that thang and represent)
I be representin' (get on that thang) representin' (get on that thang, get on that thang)
Watch how I put it down
Put it down like, ayy
Only know you can do it
Then I'ma hit every single one of your spots and really you don't need to walk me through it
But you can talk me through it
When I'm askin' if this' minds
Ima be a motivation just you just tryna see if you can break my fucking spine
I'm so attracted, to the way you carry yourself and keep your composures
You a lady in the street but behind closed doors you're a fucking soldier
A brother will never know
That's how you like it ha
Bet that booty pack a mean punch and Ima spike it, huh
Why you saying
Just wanna keep all your attention baby
Yeah, alright, alright, alright, hey
It turns me on to know I turn you on, yeah
Okay, okay, okay
Hey can I grab the wheel and drive you crazy
Yeah, alright, alright, alright
Hey sit in the front row and watch me perform

I'll be representin' (get on that thang) representin' (get on that thang)
(Get on that thang and represent)
I'll be representin' (get on that thang) representin' (get on that thang, get on that thang)
Watch how I put it down
You're incredible, edible, unforgettable
Body is so angelical, a rebel with a cause
Speaking in hypotheticals
Could I marry you if I wanted to I'll take you how you coming
Just learn to live with your flaws
Even though it's not that many
You give me that good and plenty And I walk around all day grinin'
My mind and body are gone
That JJ so so sublime
Throw it in the air and turn it to sunshine, you make me wanna call the crib
And say I'm never coming home
Luda! Why you sayin'
Just wanna keep all your attention baby
Yeah, alright, alright, alright, hey
It turns me on to know I turn you on, yeah
Okay, okay, okay, hey
Can I grab the wheel and drive you crazy
Ayy, yeah, alright, alright, alright, hey
Sit in the front row and watch me perform
Hmm you do that and you gonna learn today, hey
