Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Information kept to myself and everyone wants to know,
I trust the words of nobody else cause I've been there before,
Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening
The calloused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did,
I've seen the future, it's fading faster
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
I'm on the other end begging you, pick up the phone,
A shaking whisper is answering, don't call anymore your voice is wasted 'cause no one's listening
Freeze me in that moment, thaw me in ten years,
When the fires burned out and the smoke (clears)
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight will never end
Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight
Will never end
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
I trust the words of nobody else cause I've been there before,
Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening
The calloused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did,
I've seen the future, it's fading faster
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
I'm on the other end begging you, pick up the phone,
A shaking whisper is answering, don't call anymore your voice is wasted 'cause no one's listening
Freeze me in that moment, thaw me in ten years,
When the fires burned out and the smoke (clears)
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight will never end
Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight
Will never end
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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 think the second verse is about a guy begging his ex-girlfriend to take him back, or to forgive him or something, but she refuses, and the guy just can't accept it.. He wants to be frozen in that moment because it's too painful for him to accept the fact that the relationship is over.. He hopes that in time, his feelings for her will burn out, so it wouldn't hurt as much as he does now..
