The singer is so enamored with these individuals that they feel that they already belong with them, even if they are not yet aware of it. The lyrics also describe the powerful connection felt between the singer and their love interest ("When I look into your eyes, I see the two of us moving to the same melody").

Overall, these lyrics speak to the heady rush of first love and the feeling of connection and desire that can be overwhelming. The repeated refrain of "I'm in love" underscores the all-encompassing nature of the singer's emotions, and the idea that they are truly afraid of the potential power of these beautiful girls and boys.
