Exploring the complexities of rekindled love, this song delves into themes of nostalgia and persistent longing. The lyrics reflect the cyclical nature of a relationship that struggles to sustain itself despite multiple attempts at revival. Repeatedly, it returns to a youthful love that carries the weight of past 'acne-high-school-drama' into adult life. This persistent endeavor is likened to a "war for peace," suggesting a love fraught with battles and reconciliations. The protagonists face the painful reality that their bond might end in mere friendship, an outcome viewed as a poignant casualty. The repetitive plea to "come back" signifies relentless hope and an inability to let go, culminating in the heartrending question of how to say goodbye to such an intense, enduring emotional connection. Ultimately, the song encapsulates the struggle between giving up and holding on, a dance of trying 'a million times' 💔.
