A tender narrative of a relationship unfolds in this evocative piece. The protagonist reminisces about McKenzie, a woman who was once a part of his life. Their story is painted with vivid imagery of the city at night and intimate moments by the harbor. The recurring motif of the car key throw and the frozen Hudson suggests a pivotal moment or turning point in their relationship, possibly signaling its end. The song also touches upon themes of change and growth - from McKenzie's humble beginnings as a waitress to her ability to make ends meet. However, despite their shared history and moments, there's an underlying sense of disconnect and longing for what once was - "I don't think you listen." This poignant ballad is a testament to love lost but not forgotten.
