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".
Air Dry
Teddy Geiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're pouring dragons in my cup
Don't try it, I can't cope with it
Well get over it, yeah I'm over it
I'm tired of night and I can't breathe
You blew me off so easily
It's different between you and me
And I'm over, you'll get over it
I'm not the jealous type that doesn't sleep at night
You got your karma, I know I've got mine
And all of my tears will air dry with just a little time
Well I heard you played behind my back
Was I a fool to not react
Lets go to tape and play it back
I was out of it, I was under it
Your little spells worked quietly
Your good byes left me wondering
Now that I'm gone you'll contemplate
If you're over me, well you used to be
I'm not the jealous type that doesn't sleep at night
You got your karma, I know I've got mine
And all of my tears will air dry with just a little time
Only wanted it once I was over it
You go your way, I know I'll go mine
And all of my tears will air dry with just a little time
How was I supposed to know
You never told me baby what you want
I can't read your mind
You never bothered to look inside of mine
I used to wake up every morning
And all I could do was think of you
But it was all a lie, it was all a lie
In Teddy Geiger's song "Air Dry," the singer is expressing their frustration and newfound strength after a breakup. They have grown tired of trying to make things work with their partner, who has been playing games with them. The first verse shows the singer holding on to hope, waiting for their partner to change, but they realize that they cannot handle their partner's behavior and decide to move on. The second verse reveals that their partner had been unfaithful and manipulative, causing the singer to question their own naivete in the relationship. However, they ultimately acknowledge that they are not the type to dwell on the past and that they believe in the concept of karma.
Musically, the song is a mix of acoustic and electronic sounds, with a driving beat and catchy hook. The chorus, "all of my tears will air dry with just a little time," is a straightforward but powerful statement of resilience. The verses are more complex lyrically, with a lot of wordplay and imagery that add depth to the song's themes. Teddy Geiger's vocals are emotive and raw, conveying the singer's mixed emotions of anger, hurt, and determination.
Overall, "Air Dry" is a relatable breakup anthem that captures the rollercoaster of emotions that come with ending a relationship. It is both a cathartic release of pain and a declaration of strength, as the singer moves on to the next chapter of their life.

I kissed the rain, I waited up
I was lonely and waiting for you, but you didn't show up
You're pouring dragons in my cup
You're making my life difficult with your actions
Don't try it, I can't cope with it
Please stop your behavior, I cannot handle it
Well get over it, yeah I'm over it
I am moving on from this situation, you should try to do the same
I'm tired of night and I can't breathe
I am exhausted and suffocated by my emotions
You blew me off so easily
You rejected me without a second thought
It's different between you and me
We have different perspectives and values
And I'm over, you'll get over it
I am done with this situation and you will eventually move on too
I'm not the jealous type that doesn't sleep at night
I am not the type to obsess over someone to the point of losing sleep
You got your karma, I know I've got mine
You have received consequences for your actions, and I believe I will too
And all of my tears will air dry with just a little time
I will eventually heal from the pain and sadness caused by this situation
Only wanted it once I was over it
I only wanted you when I had moved on from you
You go your way, I know I'll go mine

I heard that you betrayed me when I wasn't around
Was I a fool to not react
Did I make a mistake by not responding to your actions?
Lets go to tape and play it back
Let's look at the evidence and reflect on what happened
I was out of it, I was under it
I was emotionally overwhelmed and not thinking clearly
Your little spells worked quietly
Your manipulations and lies were subtle but effective
Your good byes left me wondering
Your departures made me question your intentions and feelings
Now that I'm gone you'll contemplate
Now that I'm no longer in your life, you will think about what you lost
If you're over me, well you used to be
You claim to have moved on from me, but you didn't always feel that way
How was I supposed to know
I was not aware of certain information or thoughts
You never told me baby what you want
You never communicated your wants or needs to me
I can't read your mind
I am not capable of knowing your thoughts or feelings without communication
You never bothered to look inside of mine
You never tried to understand my perspective or emotions
I used to wake up every morning
I used to start each day thinking about you
And all I could do was think of you
You were constantly on my mind
But it was all a lie, it was all a lie
Our relationship was based on falsehoods and deception

Listening in 2022. Teresa has come a long way and I love them for who they have become but this was my life line when I was young and I need to revisit from time to time. They are so incredibly talented. I can not forget how good their music was
