Like much of this album, this song takes influence from Justin Hawkins personal life between 2003’s Permission To Land and the release of One Way Ticket to Hell… and Back in 2005.
In 2003, Hawkins is believed to have cheated on then girlfriend Sue Whitehouse. Hawkins as a result of his indiscretion...
[Verse 1]
We may not get back what we had, what I threw away
But you know I would do anything, anything you say
I'd cross a thousand miles of broken glass, on my hands and knees
I would crawl if, for a moment, we could cease hostilities
[Chorus]
But it seemed like such a good idea, at the time
Such a very, very good idea, at the time
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start again
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start again
[Verse 2]
Now the dream is over, and lately, I have found
You only seem to come alive when I am not around
[Chorus]
But it seemed like such a good idea, at the time
Such a very, very good idea, at the time
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start again
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start again
[Solo]
[Chorus]
But it seemed like such a good idea, at the time
Such a very, very good idea, at the time
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start again
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start
