Lyrics meaning

The lyrics express excitement and longing for a loved one. The speaker wants to know what the other person is thinking and looks forward to a phone call, being alone together, and seeing them arrive. The repeated โ€œI canโ€™t waitโ€ makes the feeling sound eager and joyful, though the plea not to say goodbye hints at some insecurity beneath the excitement.

โ€œHappiness is so hard to findโ€ presents love as something precious, not easy to come by. The claim โ€œtrue love is so hard to findโ€ reinforces this idea: the speaker feels lucky that they have found each other. โ€œMy love walks in the doorโ€ is a simple, concrete image of reunion; the loved oneโ€™s arrival seems to bring the speakerโ€™s hopes into the present.

The song can be heard as a celebration of mutual affection, especially in โ€œI found yours, you found mine.โ€ At the same time, the repeated questions suggest that the speaker wants reassurance and clear communication, not only romance. We cannot tell whether the relationship is truly uncertain or whether this is simply an expressive way to show how much the speaker cares.
