Composition and lyrics
The song is built off a building piano intro by Holly Ridge. She came up with the idea playing around during recording sessions for the debut album and stored it away. In June 2005 she approached Monroe to help her with writing a song from it. Monroe worked on ideas for the song for about two days and then called Hudson to the studio to complete it. Once they were finished with structure of Song Ridge took a demo of the piano part and began to write lyrics. The lyrics deal with the moment the beginning of performing live starts lights go on and it seize the day. She wrote it as if she was telling the story of the band as well as her relationship with Monroe at the time. She felt a parallel to the band and her and Monroe. Always on the verge of breaking through or breaking up but every moment enjoys and seize. The band recorded the song in August of 2005.
