Lyrics meaning
The song is a playful list of things the speaker enjoys, from music and food to books and quiet moments with someone close. The repeated question, โHow about you?โ, turns the list into a friendly invitation to share preferences. The mood stays light and affectionate, with the second half echoing the first while swapping in different tastes and details.
Several phrases are informal ways to express enthusiasm. โMad aboutโ and โnuts aboutโ mean that the speaker likes something very much, while โcanโt get my fillโ means wanting more of it. The image of holding hands in a dark movie theater suggests private romance and familiar pleasure. The storm makes a firesideโor, later, a televisionโsound especially cozy.
The song seems to celebrate ordinary pleasures rather than grand experiences: a favorite tune, a snack, a trip, or time together. Its repeated โmay not be newโ suggests that these simple romantic gestures are familiar, but still enjoyable. The changing references and tastes give the song a joking, conversational quality; the speaker may be adapting the list to another person, though the lyrics do not explain why.
