The words were how that riff made me feel. The story is just lamenting the end of a relationship and all of its wasted time." During a concert on December 9, 2000, Jenkins said that the song "is about a rich girl from Bernal Heights."[1] ReceptionCritical reception"Losing a Whole Year" was released as a single from Third Eye Blind's 1997 self-titled album.[2] The song received a positive reaction from music critics.
