Cover art for I Should Have Been Watching You lyrics by Hayden

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard-gives me chills & not many songs do that. My take on this song has always been the viewpoint of a dad in retrospect watching his child frolic through the field, & as he's watching he slips into a daydream losing his attention for a moment & then his child is gone. Maybe this is a stretch but it's what makes the song so sweet to me. It can be interpreted in only as many ways as ones imagination can come up with.
