Koji told Altpress:
“This song is a mission statement of sorts and the logical starting point for my first full-length. It’s about looking back on the beginning of a journey or a season in your life. After having everything stolen before my 2012 spring tour, the Warped Tour bus crash I was in last...
I was alone and reckless
My soul was still but ready to fight
It was a beautiful time in my life
Wound up abroad searching for a girl
Whose name I knew but if you asked could not remember
Like chasing a ghost in your house that's not there
You swear that you knew, "Yes I do, yes, I swear."
It was a beautiful time in my life
Summertime sticking to the skin on my ribs
I've done all I can and I gave what I could give
If you don't know by now it don't end
If you think that you're through, then that's no way to live
Then again I don't know anyway
Wound up abroad searching for a girl
Whose name I knew but if you asked could not remember
Like chasing a ghost in your house that's not there
You swear that you knew, "Yes I do, yes, I swear."
It was a beautiful time in my life
