We saw each other at a restaurant, and was like, ‘Hey! It’s like we never said goodbye, hanging out together!’ We were like, ‘There’s our next song right there!’" He also said, "The only hard part that I remember I remember about this song was where to take it if he did sit down next to her.

After talking, the man and his ex begin communicating like the old times when they were together. The bar closes after a long time talking and they talk about getting back together and trying the relationship again.

gave the song a four and a half stars out of five. He wrote, "Like We Never Said
Goodbye’ relies on a unique meter, a sort of bouncy shuffle that is familiar because we’re familiar with Walker, but otherwise totally original. It may not be a song that makes a great first impression, but in its own
