The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing and fear of rejection, as the narrator grapples with the intensity of their feelings. The opening lines, "If I told you what I felt, I would watch you walk away," set the tone for the song, highlighting the internal conflict between wanting to express love and fearing the potential consequences. This tension is a common theme in love songs, but Danielson's delivery adds a layer of sincerity and earnestness that makes it particularly poignant.
