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.
I will find a different way to say
Your gonna have to change everything you made
Your going to have to reword every metaphor you've used
So that people who are hearing are confused
If that's the most important thing you do
Detail every ounce of pain that you went through
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price
I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken
I would find a different way to go
There's no signs in life to guide you on that road
And if its the most important thing you'll say
Make sure they understand
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price
I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price
Your gonna have to change everything you made
Your going to have to reword every metaphor you've used
So that people who are hearing are confused
If that's the most important thing you do
Detail every ounce of pain that you went through
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price
I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken
I would find a different way to go
There's no signs in life to guide you on that road
And if its the most important thing you'll say
Make sure they understand
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price
I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
