🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

The lyrics describe a love that arrives quietly and unexpectedly, like a dream that begins before the heart is even aware of it. Rather than declaring certainty or a future promise, the song focuses on the moment of emotional recognition—realizing that the heart has already chosen someone. Even as everything changes, the narrator expresses a gentle resolve to remain unchanged in feeling, staying in the same place emotionally and accepting the love as it is, without demands or conditions.
