The song’s lyrics reveal a deep contemplation of returning to a former lover, with lines like “Took you like a shot / Thought that I could chase you with a cold evening / Let a couple years water down how I’m feeling about you” indicating a history of unresolved feelings.

The chorus, “I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to / When I’m lying close to someone else / You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it,” highlights the internal conflict and moral dilemma of being with someone else while still longing for the past relationship.

The song’s tone and imagery suggest a cyclical nature of love and heartbreak, where the singer is drawn back to the same emotional place, unable to fully move on.

This interpretation is supported by the song’s pop structure and Gomez’s previous works, which often explore themes of love and personal growth.
