Content
editThe song is about a couple who meets during their high school years, then separates when the woman in the relationship goes off to college. In the final verse, the woman sends the narrator a text message with the title phrase. Bryan said he chose to record the song because it reminded him of his relationship with his own wife, Caroline.[1][2]
