Lyrics meaning
The singer expresses intense, lasting love for someone and promises to stay close wherever he goes. The repeated โI will follow himโ makes the feeling sound certain and energetic. The lyrics move from the moment he touches her hand, which seems to awaken her feelings, to a confident promise of love โfrom now until forever.โ
The ocean and mountain represent obstacles that might separate the couple. Saying they are not deep or high enough to keep her away is an emphatic way to say that no difficulty could stop her. โHe is my destinyโ suggests she feels their connection is meant to be, though this is her belief rather than a fact established by the lyrics.
The song presents devotion as joyful and unwavering, but โfollow himโ can carry more than one shade of meaning. It may simply mean wanting to be wherever a loved one is; it could also suggest giving up independence to remain with him. The upbeat repetition emphasizes her certainty, while leaving open whether this devotion feels purely romantic or somewhat extreme.
