The lyrics of "Selfish" by Sonny Fodera and Kelli-Leigh convey a strong sense of possessiveness and desire for exclusivity in a romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges their selfishness because they don't want their partner to be with anyone else. Despite wishing to be selfless, they cannot help but feel this way when it comes to their significant other. The repetition of the phrase "call me selfish" emphasizes their self-awareness and acceptance of this flaw.
The lines "I'm caught up, caught up, caught up in your touch, I know you feel it too" illustrate the overwhelming emotional connection the singer has with the person they are addressed to. There is a deep and mutual attraction, with both parties feeling the intensity of their bond. They refuse to share the love they have for their partner, as they want to be the sole recipient of their affection.
The lyrics also imply that no external force, not even the universe itself, can come between them. This further emphasizes the exclusivity and possessiveness present in the relationship. The repetition in the chorus and the constant affirmation of their selfishness solidify their feelings and desires.
Overall, "Selfish" portrays a passionate and possessive love, where the singer's desire for exclusivity outweighs their wish to be selfless.
