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.
And I could\'ve rolled right off the sidewalk
If I couldn\'t find a place to go
Bright eyes
Big skies
Locked up it\'s no surprise that
I\'ve spent another day in this beat up town
Funny how this crazy life it takes you
Everywhere you do not care to go
Believe ,Achieve
You could be on to something
If you\'re only willing to let go
And if there\'s some bright idea
It\'s surely not mine
Another batch of questions all I find
Walking ,Dowtown
Move forward looking down
Thinking that the sky will fall on me
Maybe the sky will fall on me(x2)
Funny how this crazy life it takes you
Everywhere you do not care to go
Believe ,Achieve
You could be on to something
If you\'re only willing to let go
And if there\'s some bright idea
It\'s surely not mine
Another batch of questions all I find
Walking ,Dowtown
Move forward looking down
Thinking that the sky will fall on me
Maybe the sky will fall on me,fall on me,fall on me
If I couldn\'t find a place to go
Bright eyes
Big skies
Locked up it\'s no surprise that
I\'ve spent another day in this beat up town
Funny how this crazy life it takes you
Everywhere you do not care to go
Believe ,Achieve
You could be on to something
If you\'re only willing to let go
And if there\'s some bright idea
It\'s surely not mine
Another batch of questions all I find
Walking ,Dowtown
Move forward looking down
Thinking that the sky will fall on me
Maybe the sky will fall on me(x2)
Funny how this crazy life it takes you
Everywhere you do not care to go
Believe ,Achieve
You could be on to something
If you\'re only willing to let go
And if there\'s some bright idea
It\'s surely not mine
Another batch of questions all I find
Walking ,Dowtown
Move forward looking down
Thinking that the sky will fall on me
Maybe the sky will fall on me,fall on me,fall on me
