• This is a track from Lost In Transition, the first studio album from the American Pop-Rock band Sixpence None The Richer in a decade. The LP title is a reference to the band's 2004 break-up. "It's about things that happened in our lives recently, personal events or on a musical level," explained guitarist Matt Slocum, who founded SNTR with singer Leigh Nash in 1992. "We had a transition to go through. And now we have."
• Nash wrote this song with her husband about the death of her father. "That's a relationship and something I don't mind at all baring for the world to see," she told Billboard magazine. "The pain of losing a parent, a lot of people can connect with that."
• While Slocum has been the group's primary songwriter in the past, Nash penned several tracks on Lost In Transition. "I show up as a writer a little bit more than I have in the past," she told Billboard. "So we tried to make it kind of conversational in the layout of it, one song potentially being a response to the other, even if they weren't written that way."
• Nash told Christianity Today how she wrote this song with musician Stephen Wilson a few years before they married in 2011. "Stephen, who has been a best friend for a long time, came to my dad's funeral with me in Texas," she recalled, "and that meant a lot to me. It was a powerful experience for us to share that together and to be at that funeral. Anyway, we got back to Nashville, and Stephen started writing the song. And I don't think I heard it for maybe a month or two, but finally he said, 'I've got the chorus to a song,' and it was so beautiful. And then I finished the song with him and wrote the rest of the words. It's a beautiful ode to my father but through the eyes of Stephen, who at the time was my best friend."
