The story behind this song was explained at one of the Little Big Town shows I attended. The group was in Nashville and had been having trouble coming up with song ideas. They decided to take a break and went to a local restaurant. While they were there, Jimi's prom date came in. They talked for a while and, according to Karen, after the woman found out what Jimi had done with his life, she regretted that he was the one that got away. That chance encounter left Jimi and the Towners with plenty of material to write a song about.

Everything Changes
(Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Roads, Phillip Sweet, Tommy Lee James, Jennifer Kimball)

I saw you before you saw me
Yeah it really took me back
Can't believe how long it's been
Took you awhile to recognize me
Oh imagine that
When we were so close back then
No, nothing stays the same
Love, oh it slips away, it slips away

Chorus:
Everything changes doesn't it baby
It's amazing how time flies
Turning the pages of yesterday
Hey in only the blink of an eye
Everything changes
Everything changes

Somewhere I still have a picture
You were in that party dress
I remember dancing slow
Thought those days would lst forever
How soon we forget
And how far away they go
No, nothing stays the same
Love, oh it fades away, it fades away

Chorus

We try to hold it in our hands
But love falls through like grains of sand
One day it's there and then it's gone
