Content
This song is about a man who unexpectedly crosses paths with a former lover and they tell each other what has happened since they saw each other last. He tells her that since she has gone from his life, most of his time is spent thinking and dreaming about her.
Gary LeVox said of the song, "We knew this was a special song. Wed already completed the album but we dropped a song that we wrote to put this on our album."[https://web.archive.org/web/20021207220902/http://rascalflatts.com/music.htm] archived page from Rascalflatts.com from 2002
Recording
After the completion of recording for 'Melt', the band learned there was money in the recording budget for several more songs. They then recorded "Love You Out Loud" and "These Days" and being so impressed by the latter they replaced a song they wrote from the album with it.[https://web.archive.org/web/20021207220902/http://rascalflatts.com/music.htm] archived page from rascalflatts.com from 2002
