Story Behind The Song

I was talking to a mutual friend of an ex who mentioned how well he was doing at a time when I was questioning the choices I'd made that, essentially, ended the relationship.

Song Description

Sometimes it just takes the mention of past lover to send one meandering down the road of "what if..." This song explores how sometimes living in the moment can make one miss the opportunity of what is right in front of them until it's far too late and all that's left is the painful memory of what could have been.

Lyrics

In a whisper I heard your name
Brought me back to all the pain
My faded photos don't reveal
Whole stories, a love so real

But isn't it strange how in a moment it changes?
Isn't it odd how it all goes so fast?
Before we knew what happened
Love slipped into the past

I heard a line from our old song
Made me wonder where we went wrong
Our lives untangled, went separate ways
Beneath the surface love remained

But isn't it strange how in a moment it changes?
Isn't it odd how it all goes so fast?
Before we knew what happened
Love slipped into the past

So how do you recognize destiny
When it looks you in the face?
How do you know if you've arrived
When it looks like every other place?
What could have happened
In another time and space?

In a whisper I heard your name
Brought me back to all the pain
Starin' out this window at the rain
Seems so clear now, all too plain

That isn't it strange how in a moment it changes?
Isn't it odd how it all goes so fast?
Before we knew what happened
We let love slip into the past

In a whisper, heard your name
