Song Meaning
Meaning 1
Like any good songs, I think the lyrics are open to multiple interpretations, but for me the song reminds me of those beautiful summer evenings getting to know someone, hoping they feel the same way about you, but feeling like you could live in those moments forever. Without question an amazing song, hopefully, a single as well.
Meaning 2
I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself when someone claimed this song was about having a dog. Each to their own, I suppose!
It’s about insecure teenagers being in love.
It’s about being scared to say “I love you” as your parents have told you that every day and you want what you say to mean something.
It’s about being frustrated because of the insecurity (and inexperience) of articulating your feelings. The fear of being misinterpreted, and perhaps, spoiling what is, is too much to risk.
It’s about enjoying the moment with that special person and enjoying their presence without the need to talk. You’re free to imagine happy places with them, and so long as they are next to you, it could even come true.
It’s about growing up and finding things out for yourself – ie making mistakes before you’re too old.
A beautiful song, which sums up the innocence of young, and/or naive love.
