This song is about how life can change on you before you realize it. It starts off with the midwester prom queen headed west with her boyfriend looking for a great life together. She ends up a single mother of two in a one room apartment. And she's left wonderin what happened and "where did the time go?" The song continues with the corporate business man planning to early retire until his CEO steals from the company forcing it into bankruptcy and the guy is left "working at Denny's hoping for a raise." Wondering "where did the time go?" The song ends with a personal note. The singer tells this girl about how he thinks he could've been her guy but now she's living in New York City with a family.
