The story behind the song

This song carries a reflective and somewhat melancholic mood, originally demoed by the lead singer during the writing sessions for the band's fifth album. It later found its full form when the band chose to record an acoustic version after a late-night jamming session. The widely released version, which also appeared in the film Last Action Hero, features an added orchestral string treatment, deepening its emotional resonance. It evokes a feeling of being just a little behind, perhaps in life or love, with a gentle, yearning quality.
