about

The song has front woman Alicia Kay and lead guitarist Jimmy Baker both on electric guitar for a higher voltage rock sound, pushing a band that was already moving beyond the boundaries of its Americana origins further into new sonic territory. The high energy front is channeled by a strong rhythm section with Aaron Rosener on drums and Jeff Ellington on bass.

lyrics

How could it be the love has passed
I won't say I told you so
How could it be it's hard to grasp
The woes of your life that grow
You should have seen what's in your past
But now you can't fight it, no

How could it be you took it back
I won't say I told you so
How could it be it's hard to grasp
The woes of your life that grow
I should've seen what's in your past
But now I can't fight it, no

And now the kids are clinging to my knees
They wanna please
Oh, it's not a phase
You can't replace the memories or the dreams
Oh, one of these days you'll be ready
To pick up the pieces you can't seem to find, oh

Chorus:
We wanna remember the times when it always was easy, oh yeah
But when you look back was it really that much more pleasing, oh yeah
And if you settle for less are you really succeeding
Oh yeah, oh no

How could it be you want it back
I won't say I told you so
How could it be it's hard to grasp
Why don't you just let it go
We know it's time pick up your past
It's time for your mind to glow

Oh, and now the kids are growing up like weeds and the trees
Oh, it's not a phase
You can't replace the memories and the dreams
Oh, one of these days you'll be ready
To pick up the pieces you can't seem to find, oh

Chorus
