About This Song

The lyrics use soft and evocative language to express warmth, intimacy, and the tranquility that comes from shared moments between lovers, emphasizing the simple joys of being together through various life stages.

The narrative within the song highlights a journey of love that is deeply rooted in shared experiences and the little details that bring partners closer together.
