The speaker is in a new relationship with a textbook-perfect boyfriend, but she cannot stop thinking about and longing for an old love. This current boy takes her on dates and hangs out with her parents, but all the while, she is wishing for her ex-boyfriend. She says he “got away by some mistake,” and even though this new boyfriend is wonderful, she doesn't feel as strongly and passionately as she did for her former flame. She would rather have the pain of fighting with someone because she loves too hard than settle for a pleasant guy that doesn't excite her and make her heart feel alive. The music is calm and steady when the lyrics are referring to the current boyfriend, and becomes faster and exciting when the speaker is reminiscing. This song includes imagery and metaphor, and conveys the themes of love, longing, heartbreak, and dissatisfaction.
