Infatuation Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
He talks about a feeling he can’t really explain, like a sudden, quick moment from last summer. It’s like a new way of thinking that seemed like it wouldn’t change, but that promise was a lie. Now, even faded photos don’t remain for him.

[Pre-Chorus]
All he really has left are memories of that person. He remembers holding hands under the palm trees and how perfect everything felt. Even though the other person acted like they didn’t care, their last days together were bright and special, like a beautiful summer shining.

[Chorus]
He calls this feeling an infatuation, like a strong crush that won’t fade away. Even as time passes, the feeling just gets stronger. It’s like a sweet summer kiss that stays with him. He wants the other person to know what this feeling is and begs them not to leave. He tries to write about it alone but ends up erasing it, holding on to the memories between them.

[Post-Chorus]
The feeling is very intense and strong, and he knows it won’t get better soon. The heat inside him only grows, but the other person doesn’t realize what’s happening.

[Verse 2]
When they said goodbye for the last time, he couldn’t even look into their eyes. He remembers the air feeling heavy and suffocating while he held their pinky finger, trying to stay strong and smiling despite it all.

[Verse 3]
The memories are still vivid and feel almost too intense to handle, like a dream or illusion. He remembers lonely nights drinking without anyone to share it with. They shared magical moments like a rare treasure. Their connection was unique, and the feeling burned hot but short, like a tragic love story.

[Chorus]
Again, he talks about how this infatuation is a deep, growing feeling. Even though time moves on, it becomes more intense. Like a summer kiss, it captured him completely. He wants the other person to understand and asks them not to leave, even while he struggles alone to put these feelings into words.

[Post-Chorus]
The infatuation keeps getting stronger, and he can’t seem to get over it. The heat inside keeps rising while the summer ends, and the memories of those beautiful days stay with him.

[Bridge]
He admits he tries not to get hurt while waiting, but waiting feels like a cliché that everyone knows. Now, he’s focused fully on the other person and promises to give them everything. He pleads with them not to go away.

[Chorus]
He repeats how his infatuation is hard to explain and feels like a quick, fleeting moment from last summer. He tries to express it alone but ends up erasing what he wrote. Still, the memories of them stay deep inside, and he knows how special it was.
