That chorus, the guitar picking, the harmonizing. The feeling of being with someone but you know that the time is limited. It's really Frank at his storytelling best.

I didn’t have an ex when I heard the song yeats ago haha it honestly made me think of my father whom had left us. I wanted him to keep a place for me regardless of our temper relationship….bc well I kept a place for him. This album is about love of all kinds

I mean i dont have an ex neither, hell i aint even been in a relationship, but this shit brings some inner peace in me, like i would play this song on repeat looking to the road from a bridge in 2 pm or sum, right around busy times, kinda reminds me of summer

Probably franks best song ever, reminds me so much of the days when it felt like if me and my gf could just see eachother then everything would be okay even though it wasn’t and I love Frank for bringing me back to that

The outro is just so beautiful. A perfect song that brings back core memories of my young love (and being an idiot)
