With love, timing is everything. Usually, it does not even matter how your heart feels for someone if other circumstances are closing the door. Whether you are dating someone else, getting over a past relationship, or pursuing dreams, life can get in the way of love. If you relate, this week’s song “The Girl” is for you!

This is a song about true love conflicting with the pursuit of dreams. Written for his musical project City and Colour, Dallas Green paints a picture of the heartache and struggles involved in long distance relationships. Even though he is madly in love with his “beautiful girl,” he is torn between staying close to her or traveling the world.

Do not miss out on the honest lyrics and beautiful vocals of City and Colour!
