Lyrics meaning

The speaker expresses intense romantic desire and happiness when close to their partner. Kissing and being held feel so good that the speaker wants the momentโ€”and the partnerโ€™s presenceโ€”to last longer. When the partner has to leave, the mood shifts to longing, but the song stays playful and affectionate rather than deeply sorrowful.

The repeated phrase โ€œcanโ€™t get enoughโ€ means wanting more of something pleasurable; here, it suggests the speaker never feels they have had enough time or closeness with their partner. Wishing there were โ€œtwoโ€ of the beloved is an exaggerated, playful image: the speaker wants even more affection and attention, not literally a second person. Similarly, wishing the night were โ€œtwice as longโ€ shows a desire to delay parting.

The lyrics can be heard as an exuberant celebration of infatuation, with repetition emphasizing how overwhelming the feeling is. At the same time, the speakerโ€™s wish for more of the partner to touch hints at physical desire as well as emotional closeness. The song does not explain what the relationship is like beyond these moments, so the intensity may be understood as joyful romantic exaggeration rather than a full picture of the coupleโ€™s life.
