Not That Kind

The speaker describes a caring but independent approach to love. She promises affection and wants to spend time with someone, but does not want to pressure them or rush the relationship. As the song develops, her confidence becomes clearer: even if the other person leaves, she believes she will be all right and can let them go.

“Make you mine” means trying to claim someone as a partner, while “run far ahead” suggests moving too quickly or expecting the other person to keep up. The promise to love someone “’til the 12th of never” is playful exaggeration: it means for an impossibly long time. The wind, flowing water, and shining sun suggest that life continues after heartbreak.

“Not that kind of girl” is deliberately broad, so its exact meaning is not fully explained. It may mean she will not chase, control, or depend entirely on a partner. At the same time, she offers tenderness and invites the other person to decide what they want. The song therefore presents independence not as a refusal of love, but as a boundary: affection should leave both people free.
