Lyrics meaning

The lyrics describe two people experiencing a powerful, joyful connection and wondering whether to name it love. The feeling seems immediate and shared: they want to โ€œfall intoโ€ each other and sing their excitement aloud. The repeated question keeps the emotion open rather than presenting a definite answer. Overall, the song moves from excitement about a rare moment toward an invitation to recognize that moment as love.

Several images make the feeling seem larger than the couple. โ€œTwo hearts in a billionโ€ suggests that their connection feels unusually special, while โ€œhallelujahโ€ gives their happiness the force of a celebration or praise. The sky above and waves below place the feeling throughout the natural world, as if it is all around them. โ€œRunning on a dreamโ€ suggests being carried by excitement, perhaps with little concern for sleep or ordinary routines.

The lyrics may describe romantic love, but they do not explain exactly what the relationship is or how long it will last. โ€œTimes like these donโ€™t come and goโ€ can mean that this moment feels precious and uncommon; it need not promise permanence. The repeated call to โ€œsing it backโ€ also makes the song feel like a shared celebration, inviting the other person to confirm the feeling.
