The chorus reveals the complexity of the relationship, highlighting moments of passion and connection ('Nosso beijo combinou, Coração acelerou') juxtaposed with misunderstandings and conflicts. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of wanting to return to the past and mend the relationship, while their partner seems to complicate matters. This tension is palpable, as the protagonist pleads for a resolution and a fresh start, free from past grievances ('Sem passado, sem vestígios pra recomeçar').
