Are your desires...

Tell me, girl, what happened to you?

O beautiful girl, so gracefully...
...you are growing even more beautiful,
To give your heart away...
...are you waiting for the right day?
You are just not yourself anymore, girl...

This excerpt captures the sweet emotional turbulence and changes that come with falling in love. The singer playfully observes a young woman experiencing a beautiful hesitation and notices how her desires and demeanor are changing. As she blossoms into an even more beautiful version of herself, he gently teases her about losing her usual self while secretly looking for the right moment to give her heart away.
