Vance Joy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Elegant and bold
She is electricity
Running to my soul
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I could easily lose my mind
The way you kiss me
Will work each time
Calling me to come back to bed
Singing Georgia On My Mind
And I, and I
Lips generous and warm
You build me up like steps
Eyes innocent and wild
Remind me what it's like
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I could easily lose my mind
The way you kiss me will work each time
Pulling me back into the flames
And I'm burning up again
I'm burning up
And I, I never understood what was at stake
I never thought your love was worth it's wait
Well now you've come and gone
I finally worked it out
I worked it out
I never should have told you
I never should have let you see inside
Don't want it troubling your mind
Won't you let it be
I never should have told you
I never should have let you see inside
Don't want it troubling your mind
Won't you let it be
I never should have told you
I never should have let you see inside
Don't want it troubling your mind
Won't you let it be
I never should have told you
I never should have let you see inside
Don't want it troubling your mind
Won't you let it be
And I could easily lose my mind
The way you kiss me will work each time
Pulling me back into the flames
And I'm burning up again, I'm burning up
And I, I never understood what was at stake
I never thought your love was worth it's wait
Well now you've come and gone
I finally worked it out
I worked it out
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Vance Joy's "Georgia" is about falling in love and the all-consuming passion that comes with it. The lyrics describe the singer's admiration and attraction to the woman, who is elegant, bold, and electrifying. Her presence is like electricity running through his soul, which he can't resist. He is bewitched by her lips, generous and warm, and her innocent yet wild eyes that remind him what it's like to experience something new and exciting.
The chorus, "And I could easily lose my mind, the way you kiss me will work each time," captures the fervent intensity of their love, which is impossible to resist. The singer yearns to be with the woman, calling him to come back to bed, singing Georgia, which could be a reference to the woman's name or the state. However, the singer realizes that he never understood what was at stake and never thought that her love was worth the wait. After she's gone, he finally realizes what he had and how he let it slip away.
Overall, the song portrays the rush of falling for someone and the danger that comes with it. The singer's feelings are too strong to resist, and the consequences of losing the woman are too harsh to bear. It's a reminder that love is powerful and can drive us to the brink of madness.

This was going to be my wedding song. My fiancé picked it out after we heard it on Pandora. He usually hated my preferred genre of music but he just loved this song. He died in a wreck last Thursday and I haven’t been able to stop listening to this ever since. God I miss you Jared Spahn you are my world 🖤 looks like the only thing we will be able to use this song for is your funeral but it will still forever be our song.
