I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I'd do anything
For you
We've had our good times and bad
Baby what is sad
I miss you girl
Oh yes I do
Now that you're gone away
It's hard for me to say
I miss you girl
Oh yes I do
Refrain:
I just want you to know
That the love I have is real
But girl I really want to show you how I feel
Chorus:
I'd do anything to be with you again
Just name the place and I will be there
Oh tell me why can't I have the one I love
Just like the way it used to be
I miss you all of the time when you were mine
I miss the way it seemed so right
How could I let the girl I love
Slip right throught my hands
I can't get you off my mind
Refrain
Chorus
I just want to make you happy
I wanna make you understand
I need you for my girlfriend until the very end
Oh I miss holding hands and playing games
I get chills when I hear your name 'cuz I know
It'll never be the same
Chorus
I'd do anything just to be with you
I'll tell you that I love you
If you want me to
Just call my name and I'll be there
To let you know how much I care
Oh tell me why can't I have the one I love
Just like the way it used to be
Chorus
For you
We've had our good times and bad
Baby what is sad
I miss you girl
Oh yes I do
Now that you're gone away
It's hard for me to say
I miss you girl
Oh yes I do
Refrain:
I just want you to know
That the love I have is real
But girl I really want to show you how I feel
Chorus:
I'd do anything to be with you again
Just name the place and I will be there
Oh tell me why can't I have the one I love
Just like the way it used to be
I miss you all of the time when you were mine
I miss the way it seemed so right
How could I let the girl I love
Slip right throught my hands
I can't get you off my mind
Refrain
Chorus
I just want to make you happy
I wanna make you understand
I need you for my girlfriend until the very end
Oh I miss holding hands and playing games
I get chills when I hear your name 'cuz I know
It'll never be the same
Chorus
I'd do anything just to be with you
I'll tell you that I love you
If you want me to
Just call my name and I'll be there
To let you know how much I care
Oh tell me why can't I have the one I love
Just like the way it used to be
Chorus
