Lost by Soccer Mommy is a song about the death and loss of her mother, and how she copes with this loss. In the song she also talks about the guilt she feels for not having spent more time with her and caring for her when she needed it.
[Verse 1]
I've got her name
I've got her face and all these things
But I don't know what's in her dreams
It's lost to me
I've got a way
Of keeping her with me where I go
But how she feels, I'll never know
It's lost to me
[Chorus]
Lost in a way that don't make sense
Lost in a way that never ends
If I had another chance, I'd ask her then
I'd ask her then
[Verse 2]
I've got her name
I've got her picture in a frame
But I don't give her anything
And I never did
Oh, what a nerve
Asking for more and more of her
She'd give until there's nothing left
If I wanted it
[Chorus]
Lost in a way that don't make sense
Lost in a way that never ends
If I had another chance, I'd give her this
Lost in a way you can't forget
Lost like the things I never said
If I had another chance, I'd tell her then
I'd tell her then

It was actually the last song I wrote for the record, like...
