Story Behind The Song

I met a girl 2 years ago when my band was playing a festival in Ohio, just a few months after the girl I'd been dating for a year and a half broke up with me. I'd been through and done a lot of things I regret, but since the day I met her, things have fal

Song Description

A love song about a girl I met while I was on the road two years ago. I was going through the hardest times of my life, and as it happens, so was she. I'd done a lot of things I regret and she'd been suffering with the pain of a broken family. The kind of

Every mistake that I could make
But it's all becoming clear as daylight now.
I've broken every heart that I could break
Every excuse that I could fake
But I know I'm going all but nowhere now

And all I thought I could be

Now the torn and tattered
Bruised and battered me

It's like her past left all but empty space
Every lament that she could face
But it's nothing more than she can handle now
And never quite sure how her family ties
Severed and torn apart with lies
Would come together but this weather's calming now

God gave a thousand second chances to a guy like me
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries
And she's got a peace that passes understanding in her heart
And for the first time she has hope for a new start.
