Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a happy, go-lucky, "bubble gum" pop tune with a catchy rhythm, chord progress, and melody. The vocalist had lyrics about a missed opportunity and I felt that combining the two ideas would leave the listener caught between two different feelings.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
The moment came.
The moment passed and somehow I just missed it.
You said hello and I don't know how I could resist it.
I got caught up, lost in love, stuck in my own head.
Now I know that you'll go not remembering me.
Chorus:
Why can't I relax and lose all control.
How could I have locked up my heart and my soul.
Now I'll regret never learning his name.
It drives me insane.
Verse 2:
I lost my chance and now I'll just have to stick to dreaming.
It was gone too fast.
Now there's no sense in me believing that I'll know you and you'll love me and we'll be together baby.
Chorus:
How could I have let someone slip through my fingers.
He was only trying to get me to fall for him deeper.
But in the end I was too blind to see and now he's not with me.
Bridge:
I don't know how I let you go.
I don't know how to find you.
Even if I could see you now I don't know how I would keep you.
Chorus:
Why can't I relax and lose all control.
How could I have locked up my heart and my soul.
Now I'll regret never learning his name.
It drives me insane.
