Songfacts®:

  • This Rhett Akins, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne penned song finds the narrator waiting desperately for a response from the object of his affection. Young told Pollstar that it's his favorite track on A.M. He explained: "It's just got this really cool slack-groove, and it's almost acoustically driven with a cajon feel. I just love the way it's written."

    "I think it's got some of the coolest lines," Young continued. "There's a line in the second verse – and I hate when people line songs and here I am about to do a little bit of it – but it says:

    "I pray what you ain't sayin' don't mean what all my friends say it means
    Maybe you can give me just a couple of lines that I can read between."

    "Man that's just some really cool songwriting," he concluded. "It's one of those songs where I said, 'Damn, why didn't I write that?' So we had to cut it for the record."
