A multi-instrumentalist and producer, Geiger’s sheer breadth of musicality imprints a bold stamp in the lexicon of American pop with her sophomore album, The Last Fears available on iTunes everywhere now. The self-produced album establishes the re-emergence of Geiger as a singer/songwriter at the forefront of the independent American music landscape, blending traditional pop structure with accents of electronica and ballads tinged with sounds as close to home as mandolins and steel guitars.
Geiger is a versatile songwriter/producer and is a featured artist on Tiesto's forthcoming album Clublife 3 Stockholm with the single "Love and Run".
A Million Years
Teddy Geiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught up in the things that everyone wants
Caught up in what's out
Caught up in the things that you could do without
Well what if I was one of them
Don't let me be
Well if I live for a million years
Will you get over it this time
And is this the last time
On this night we breathe air
What makes it so different
What makes you not care
Well I wish that we could be the same
And I wish that you could give up this game
Don't want to be one of them
Don't let me be
Well if I live for a million years
I would be right there to catch your tears
Will you get over it this time
And is this the last time
Will you say goodbye before you leave
Will you say goodnight
Just one more time please
Will you call my phone out of regret
And will you love again
With other than me, Other than me
And will you speak of me with other than me
And will you remember me
And will you remember me
Will you remember me
Well if I live for a million years
I would be right there to catch your tears
Will you get over it this time
And is this the last time
Is this the last time
Oh, is this the last time, my dear
Oh, is this the last time
Yeah, is this the last time my, dear
Oh, is this the last time
Is this the last time, my dear
Is this the last time I
Think it's the last time for us
The song "A Million Years" by Teddy Geiger seems to be about being caught up in superficial things and wanting to break away. The lyrics suggest that the singer is caught up in the same things as everyone else, but they don't want to be a part of it. The lines "Caught up in what's in, caught up in the things that everyone wants, caught up in what's out, caught up in the things that you could do without" indicate that the singer is aware of the futility of wanting things just because others do.
The song then changes focus to someone the singer cares for deeply, with the lines "Well if I live for a million years, I would be right there to catch your tears. Will you get over it this time and is this the last time." It seems that this person has gone through a tough time and the singer is willing to be there for them always. The lines "Well if I live for a million years, I would be right there to catch your tears" emphasize the singer's unconditional love.
Towards the end of the song, the singer questions whether this relationship will end, with lines such as "Will you say goodbye before you leave, will you say goodnight just one more time please, will you call my phone out of regret?" Overall, "A Million Years" seems to be a song about wanting something deeper than what's on the surface and facing uncertainty in relationships.

Are you going to recover from your current emotional state?
And is this the last time
Is this the final time you'll have to go through this difficult situation?
On this night we breathe air
We engage in the most basic human function, breathing
What makes it so different
Why is this moment special?
What makes you not care
What prevents you from showing empathy?
Well I wish that we could be the same
I wish we could share similar perspectives
And I wish that you could give up this game
And I wish you could stop playing this emotional game
Don't want to be one of them
I don't want to be one of the people you see as disposable
Will you say goodbye before you leave
Will you properly say your goodbyes before you depart?
Will you say goodnight
Will you acknowledge me one last time?
Just one more time please
Please give me one more chance to say goodbye
Will you call my phone out of regret
Will you call me due to a sense of remorse?
And will you love again
Will you be able to feel love for someone other than me?
With other than me, Other than me
With someone who isn't me
And will you speak of me with other than me
Will you talk about me with other people?
And will you remember me
Will I remain in your memory?
Is this the last time
Is this the end of our time together?
Oh, is this the last time, my dear
Oh, is this the last time, my beloved
Yeah, is this the last time my, dear
Yeah, is this the last time, my beloved
Is this the last time I
Is this the end of our relationship?
Think it's the last time for us
Believe that this is the end for us
