Lovely song. So refreshing to listen to such a song from a guy's perspective.

This is song about fear of falling in love, again. Although this person seems to be glad to FINALLY be in a relationship, he is holding back a little, probably because he's been hurt several times before and doesn't want to live that pain again.

In other words, this person is "damaged goods", if I may. It's almost as if he wants to be sure that this person is THE ONE, because he doesn't want to be broken-hearted again in case it fails.

But finally, as the title says, it's "this year's love" so, it probably won't last...
