      In the song, the narrator sees a honeymoon newspaper story about a former lover from her youth. The narrator discusses the differences in appearance and character of the boy she knew, as opposed to the man who grew mature enough to marry. Kramer said she "started bawling" when producer Scott Hendricks played the demo for her, because it closely reflected her relationship with a high school sweetheart about whom she had been trying to write a song without success.
