Buchanan describes the song as a “testament to lost love with the inability to move on.” The track was written in early June of 2019 with Derek Fuhrmann-who also acts as producer on the song.
When I come back to this place and I feel that breeze upon my face, I do remember
Our endless teenage fights, setting fire to the night to watch the embers
Now that it’s gone, your ghost won’t leave me alone
Now that you’re gone, my mind keeps wandering home
Now that it’s gone, now that you’re gone
Summer nights together, frozen in the amber
If nothing lasts forever, why do you
Cross my mind whenever I find something better?
If nothing lasts forever, why do you?
Why do you?
Not a day you don’t cross my mind
In the river of my dreams I feel a bursting at the seams and push towards you
And these shoes here on my feet keep walking me back to your street, if only you knew
Now that it’s gone, your ghost won’t leave me alone
Now that you’re gone, my mind keeps wandering home
Now that it’s gone, now that you’re gone
Summer nights together, frozen in the amber
If nothing lasts forever, why do you
Cross my mind whenever I find something better?
If nothing lasts forever, why do you?
Why do you?
Not a day you don’t cross my mind
Picture me back by your side
I think about you all the time
Not a day you don’t cross my mind
Summer nights together, frozen in the amber
If nothing lasts forever, why do you
Cross my mind whenever I find something better?
If nothing lasts forever, why do you?
Why do you?
Not a day you don’t cross my mind
