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.
Woah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
Gimme, yeah-eah-eah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
Woah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
Gimme, yeah-eah-eah, gimme, yeah-eah-eah
At the rock bottom baby crawl, crawl
I let you lick it from the ground, ground
'Cause I've been drippin' for your love, love (woah, woah)
You can call me that bitch (woah, woah, oh, oh)
It's all signed
All I can think about is you're mine
You and me in my bed at midnight (woah, woah)
And you can call me that bitch (woah, woah, oh, oh)
We can be over, over
And you can write if you know her, know her
Or we can ride and be over
Get it, say it, I'm your type
I know you been all this time
So get it right
To get around me
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Pick up the phone, come on, let's talk all about
That thing you do, the way you move, hell on my mouth
Let's get away, just me and you sometime (woah, woah, woah, woah)
You can call me that bitch (woah, woah, woah, woah)
Oh, you're mine to take
I wanna hear the sounds that you'll make
Drivin' me crazy with the way you whine (woah, woah, woah, woah)
And you can call me that bitch
We can be over, over
And you can write if you know her, know her
Or we can ride and be over
Get it, say it, I'm your type
I know you been all this time
So get it right
To get around me
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
Gimme, gimme it
Gimme, gimme, what I want, what I deserve
