Songfacts®:

  • This gentle, reflective track comes from a personal place. "That's a thing you learn in AA," Crosby told Rolling Stone. "I went there for about fourteen and half years. You have to look at what got you there. You have to look at the mistakes, and I made some horrific ones, and then you have to learn from them, figure out how to not wind up there again. You have to set that baggage down and walk on. If you spend all your life looking over your shoulder at the things you did wrong, you're gonna walk smack into a tree."
  • Here are three more songs about learning from mistakes:

    "The Way It Goes" by The Click Five
    "Forget and Not Slow Down" by Relient K
    "Dare You To Move" by Switchfoot
