“I think when I wrote the lyrics, it had to do with losing touch with somebody and then reconnecting and realizing that they had grown in a different direction,” Scott said. “It’s happened to all of us from time to time, where we knew somebody and then when we saw them again, they were a different person. That’s pretty much it I think.
“Right now, I am finishing up the year with Tusk then seeing if I can put a band together for some shows,” he added. “Fingers crossed.“
