Geronimo
Sheppard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you feel it?
Now it's coming back we can steal it
If we bridge this gap
I can see you
Through the curtains of the waterfall

When I lost it
Yeah you held my hand
But I tossed it
Didn't understand
You were waiting
As I dove into the waterfall

So say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!

Can you feel my love?
Bombs away
Bombs away
Bombs away
Can you feel (my love, my love, my love, my love, my love) my love?
Bombs away
Bombs away
Bombs away
Say Geronimo!

Well we rushed it
Moving away too fast
That we crushed it
But it's in the past
We can make this leap
Through the curtains of the waterfall

So say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!

Can you feel (my love, my love, my love, my love, my love) my love?
Bombs away
Bombs away
Bombs away
Can you feel (my love, my love, my love, my love, my love) my love?
Bombs away
Bombs away
Bombs away

Well I'm just a boy
With a broken toy
All lost and coy
(At the curtains of the waterfall)
So it's here I stand
As a broken man
But I've found my friend
At the curtains of the waterfall

Now I'm falling down
Through the crashing sound
And you've come around
At the curtains of the waterfall

And you rushed to me
And it sets us free
So I fall to my knees
(At the curtains of the waterfall)

So say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!

Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!
Say Geronimo!

Bombs away
Bombs away
Bombs away (Say Geronimo!)

Say Geronimo!

Make this leap
Make this leap
Make this leap
Make this leap
Can you feel my love?

Overall Meaning

The repetition of the phrase "Say Geronimo" is a call to action, urging the listener to take the leap and embrace the unknown.


The lyrics also hint at the idea of second chances and redemption. The singer acknowledges their past mistakes and regrets, but they are determined to move forward and take another shot at success. The line "Well, I'm just a boy with a broken toy, all lost and coy" represents the singer's vulnerability and uncertainty, but by the end of the song, they have found the courage to take the leap and trust in their relationship.
