Lyrics meaning

The lyrics describe intense attraction and physical closeness. The speaker feels strongly drawn to his partner and keeps returning to her, expressing pleasure, excitement, and a fear of losing her touch. The mood is confident and sensual, though the repeated claims that he cannot think of anything else suggest his desire may also feel overwhelming.

Several images make this intensity easier to picture. A touch makes the hairs on his neck rise, a bodily sign of excitement. Comparing his response to a volcano suggests a sudden, powerful release of feeling. Calling his partner a โ€œsweetest drugโ€ frames attraction as pleasurable but hard to control; โ€œsprungโ€ is informal slang for being deeply infatuated or attached. The image of loving through the night, from sunset or nightfall until sunrise, emphasizes how absorbed they are in one another.

The song celebrates a mutually intimate relationship, but it mostly presents that relationship through the speakerโ€™s desire and physical experience. His repeated devotion may sound affectionate, yet words like โ€œaddictedโ€ and โ€œcanโ€™t thinkโ€ leave room for a less balanced reading: attraction can feel exciting while also becoming consuming. The lyrics do not tell us whether this is lasting love or a passionate moment, so either interpretation is possible.
