I never thought that I would find a way out
I never thought I'd hear my heart beat so loud
I can't believe there's something left in my chest anymore
But goddamn, you got me in love again

In this verse, the singer reflects on a dark time, feeling trapped and emotionally exhausted. The heart beating loudly symbolizes a new sense of life and excitement.

Chorus

Show me that heaven's right here, baby
Touch me, so I know I'm not crazy
Never have I ever met somebody like you
Used to be afraid of love and what it might do
But goddamn, you got me in love again

The chorus is all about longing for connection and reassurance. The imagery of "heaven" hints at how special this new relationship feels.

Verse 2

So many nights, my tears fell harder than rain
Scared I would take my broken heart to the grave
I'd rather die than have to live in a storm like before
But goddamn, you got me in love again

This verse dives deeper into the pain and fear that lingered from past heartbreak. The imagery of rain highlights just how heavy that sadness was. There’s a sense of desperation, showing how much the singer wants to avoid that pain again. But again, the presence of new love is so powerful that it brings hope and joy, breaking through the darkness.

Chorus

I can't believe, I can't believe
I finally found someone
I'll sink my teeth in disbelief
'Cause you're the one that I want
I can't believe, I can't believe
I'm not afraid anymore
Goddamn, you got me in love again

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
I never thought that I would find a way out
I never thought I'd hear my heart beat so loud
I can't believe there's something left in my chest anymore
Oh, goddamn, you got me in love again
(We're in love, we're in love)
(We're in love, we're in love, oh, oh)
