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.
Look at the horizon it's coming straight for us
Round up the oxygen
For us
'Cause maybe
We will need it
Sure as hell
We will need it
We are born in a maze
And we take the road most travelled
Just know when you get to the end
You can't go back
To the start again
If you are right when you tell me
I am able
I'll keep working at this then
Please, just tell me this is normal
I don't have much hope
For the start again
Maybe we will need it
Sure as hell, we will need it
In this life
You will fail
To see all sides
But you won't be alone
In this life
You will fail
To see all sides
But you won't be alone
Round up the oxygen
For us
'Cause maybe
We will need it
Sure as hell
We will need it
We are born in a maze
And we take the road most travelled
Just know when you get to the end
You can't go back
To the start again
If you are right when you tell me
I am able
I'll keep working at this then
Please, just tell me this is normal
I don't have much hope
For the start again
Maybe we will need it
Sure as hell, we will need it
In this life
You will fail
To see all sides
But you won't be alone
In this life
You will fail
To see all sides
But you won't be alone
