This song definitely grew on my since I first heard it. The chorus is very happy-sounding about daydreaming of someone. Life is better when you have a love interest to think about all day and night. The verses are more serious though, and progress throughout the song. The first verse narrates going after a girl who is playing hard to get, but he likes it and he's just having fun. The second verse shows signs of serious emotion, even pleading with the girl not to "play" him, despite initially wanting to "play" the girl. With the bridge, the narrative turns even further as Rivers belts out that he isn't kidding anymore like he was in verse 1. The narrator goes from lightheartedly daydreaming about "a touch that may never come" to actually needing the girl. It kinda perfectly describes my relationship with my latest ex.
