this is the first song I ever heard by Brightwood, and I fell in love.
I think one element that is pretty obvious in this song is that it's about a breakup. and Brightwood conveys the PERFECT emotion with the music and the words as well as the vocals to create an atmosphere that fits together like a puzzle.
When it comes to the meaning of the song, I think something happened between a couple and they broke up. And the narrator (who I'm assuming is the guy) really doesn't want it to be over, hence "And I can't get your sight, your scent from my head."
The guy feels like even though he is devastated, there's no point in trying to fix anything with his significant other because she (or even he) is to the point of no return; the person doesn't want him back. With the line "Slipped past, and I didn't notice. Did we ever sing the same song?" I think whatever happened was the guy's fault, and he did it without even realizing. Like maybe he grew apart from her or he changed and wasn't the same person. He couldn't see it since it was him changing or growing apart, but she did. And he is wondering how she could let something like that break up something so important.
"The story we wrote in one season came to an end in one night." It seems as if they were together for about three months. And suddenly it just ended because of the reasons I said above. Unexpectedly. "Remember the times when we started believing, Everything would be alright?" Whatever the problem was had come up before and they had talked about it, the impression was made that there was faith that it wouldn't end. But it did... And with the closing lines it seems the guy, even though he feels he can't reach out to her and make any difference, he is still going to wait for her. He wants her back so badly, that he'll keep hoping for it until he can get her back.
It's a beautiful song, really...so much emotion packed into only a few minutes. It's perfect.
