The repeated requests for trust and reassurance, 'Trust in me when I say,' and 'Don't bring me down, I pray,' underscore the fragility of love and the fear of losing it. The song ultimately celebrates the joy of finding love and the hope that it will endure, as expressed in the final plea, 'Now that I found you, stay, and let me love you.'
