Feeling transformed into something passionate or untamed by the partner.
But sometimes, I get so angry

And I plan to put you out in the cold
Planning to distance emotionally or physically during anger.
Honey I know damn well it's gonna be you and me

Sitting on the porch and growing old
Imagining growing old together with the partner.

Feeling of familiarity or nostalgia.
I know I'm gonna answer your call
