Lyrics
Did you know I was gone on my own
Expressing the speaker's absence and independence.
For a while, I was lost but I made it home
Acknowledging a period of being lost but eventually finding a way back home.
I know it sounds like a fairy tale
Highlighting the fantastical nature of the speaker's experience.
But it was the first time that I felt okay
Describing a moment when the speaker felt genuinely content or at ease.
And I love how you don't feel the need to always come and rescue me
Appreciating the partner's lack of overprotectiveness and the freedom it brings.
And sweep me off my feet till I'm surrendering
Contrasting traditional romantic gestures with a more balanced and equal relationship.
But you give me all the love I need
Acknowledging the partner's genuine love and emotional support.
And that part isn't make-believe
Emphasizing the authenticity of the love, distinguishing it from fiction.
And I'm starting to think we could have our happy ending
Expressing hope for a positive future together.
It could be just a dream but it felt so real
Suggesting uncertainty about the reality of the positive experience.
I know it sounds like a fairy tale
Reiterating the fantastical aspect of the speaker's journey.
But it was the best time to find my way
Describing a peak moment in the speaker's life journey.
And I love how you don't feel the need to always come and rescue me
Appreciating the partner's lack of overprotectiveness (repeated from line 5).
And sweep me off my feet till I'm surrendering
Reiterating the contrast between traditional romance and the speaker's experience.
But you give me all the love I need
Acknowledging the partner's genuine love and emotional support (repeated from line 7).
And that part isn't make-believe
Emphasizing the authenticity of the love (repeated from line 8).
And I'm starting to think we could have our happy ending
Reiterating the hope for a positive future together (repeated from line 9).
You and me, we have our own magic
Describing the unique and special connection between the speaker and the partner.
And I love how you don't need to be the noble hero in the scene
Appreciating the partner's lack of a stereotypical heroic role.
And sweep me off my feet
Contrasting traditional romantic gestures with a more balanced and equal relationship (repeated from line 6).
But you give me all the time I need
Acknowledging the partner's respect for the speaker's pace in the relationship.
And that part isn't make-believe
Emphasizing the authenticity of the love (repeated from line 16).
And I'm starting to think we could have our happy ending
Reiterating the hope for a positive future together (repeated from line 17).
Happy ending
Expressing a desire for a happy conclusion or outcome in the relationship.
