As with the previous single, Wires, the content of the song is autobiographical. The lyrics speak of singer, Joel Pott's, regret at being far away from his family whilst on tour, of how difficult it is to conduct a relationship with them over the telephone and how, when he finally gets to spend some time at home, he will 'make the most of it'.

The song was used for Sky One to commemorate the final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise in August 2005.
