Verse 1

"Throwin' petals like, "Do you love me or not?"
Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop
'Cause you said "Forever," babe, did you mean it or not?
Hold on, hold on
You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message
Instead of a line, it's three dots, but I can connect them
And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it
But if you need time, just take your time
Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it"

In this opening verse, Bieber sets the scene of uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The first line uses the metaphor of throwing petals, suggesting a playful question about love.

The reference to being “left on read” captures the frustration of modern communication, highlighting how small moments can carry big meanings. The willingness to give space shows maturity, reinforcing his respect for the other person's feelings.

Verse 2

"Blowin' kisses like, "Will you catch 'em or not?"
I'm Cupid with arrows, babe, I'm just shootin' my shot, mm-mm
If I could get in, drop me a pin, hop in the whip and come over
Don't wanna be friends, just skin-to-skin, I wanna get closer and closer and closer, uh"
