The story behind the song

This song is really about following your dreams, but it also touches on dreams that have been missed and a sense of regret. The verses and choruses were written at different times, eventually coming together to form this ballad from their debut album, The Better Life. The lead singer intentionally left the person in the first verse open to interpretation, aiming for a song that allows listeners to connect it to their own lives. At its heart, it plays like a reflection on aspirations and the paths taken or not taken.
