I also got remarried so there was a big contrast in my life. For a while I couldn’t be completely happy with the new life I was starting and I couldn’t end the last one. This is a song about all of that." Booklet Notes: 'This song began as a keyboard and beat loop, along with the staccato guitar in the second verse.
