The lyrics portray a moment of emotional confusion as affection quietly grows into something undeniable. Familiarity turns into uncertainty, and casual feelings evolve into a sincere confession filled with hesitation and hope. The repeated plea for an answer reflects vulnerability, while the longing for reassurance captures the anxiety of wanting love to be returned.
