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.
I will be different this time
I won’t save any part of you
One dishonor I can deliver
I ate up a diamond
I changed me for the better
But I’m an elevator
watch you wonder will I deliver
I ate up a diamond
I hear you now I hear you now
Wait on a mountainside
I’m coming down
I feel you now I feel around
Laid on a Mountainside
So loud
I hope you know how
I ate up a diamond
I want you moving into me
Just listen to me whisper
I will be different this time
Just listen to me whisper
I hear you now I hear you now
Wait on a Mountainside
I’m coming down
I feel around, I feel you now
Laid on a mountainside
On the ground
I know you know now
I ate up a diamond
I ate up a diamond
I ate up your diamond
I ate up your diamond
I won’t save any part of you
One dishonor I can deliver
I ate up a diamond
I changed me for the better
But I’m an elevator
watch you wonder will I deliver
I ate up a diamond
I hear you now I hear you now
Wait on a mountainside
I’m coming down
I feel you now I feel around
Laid on a Mountainside
So loud
I hope you know how
I ate up a diamond
I want you moving into me
Just listen to me whisper
I will be different this time
Just listen to me whisper
I hear you now I hear you now
Wait on a Mountainside
I’m coming down
I feel around, I feel you now
Laid on a mountainside
On the ground
I know you know now
I ate up a diamond
I ate up a diamond
I ate up your diamond
I ate up your diamond
