They would even trade their soul or give up everything just to have their wish fulfilled. The lyrics highlight the protagonist's anticipation and eagerness to establish a connection, as they offer their number and ask the person to call them. The line "And the other girls try to fucking chase me" in Upon This Dawning's version is a variation from Carly Rae Jepsen's original lyrics, adding a touch of aggression to the story. The chorus reinforces the intense emotions the protagonist feels, emphasizing that they missed this person so much before they arrived. The song's conclusion repeats the offer to call them, highlighting the protagonist's desperate longing for a connection.
