Lyrics meaning
The lyrics describe someone who is intensely excited and nervous about a possible romance. At first, he cannot sleep and is astonished that the woman has called him. His amazement turns into confidence: he believes they belong together and promises that their relationship will last through difficulties. The repeated chorus makes this promise sound steady and reassuring.
A few expressions show how strong his feelings are. Being โall choked upโ means he is so emotional that he struggles to speak, not that he is literally choking. Calling the woman a โdream come trueโ presents her as someone he had hoped for but hardly expected to meet. โAny kind of weatherโ suggests staying together through changing or difficult circumstances, rather than referring only to literal weather.
The songโs certainty is part of its romantic excitement, but it may also sound a little presumptuous. The speaker says they were โmade to fall in loveโ and dismisses what her friends might say, yet the lyrics do not tell us what she feels or why her friends might object. His promise to be there at every step can be heard as affectionate devotion; listeners might also notice that he speaks more confidently about their future than the available details can prove.
