Lyrics meaning

The speaker once believed life had settled into a quiet, predictable state and tried to close off romantic feelings. Yet memories of a former lover keep returning. The song moves from resignation to renewed longing: despite the pain and uncertainty of love, the speaker hopes the person will come back and is willing to follow them anywhere.

Several images express how hard it is to let go. The heart is compared to a calm surface that refuses to be stirred, but love brings back “waves.” The speaker has tried many times to cut the emotional ties, yet they remain and twist around them. The lover’s smile is said to outshine even a beautiful spring breeze, suggesting that personal affection matters more than scenery. The phrase “bewitched” describes being so strongly drawn to someone that reason seems to have lost its hold.

The speaker considers different explanations—fate, a connection from a past life, or even deliberate teasing—but says the explanation no longer matters. This may sound like complete devotion, but it also leaves room for doubt: the loved person may not return, and the speaker admits that love brings trouble and the future is unknown. The final question, about whether saying goodbye now would be too soon, keeps hope alive without resolving what will happen.
