The phrase ‘it was only a kiss’ is repeated, emphasizing the narrator’s attempt to minimize the betrayal while simultaneously revealing its magnified effect on his psyche It’s a powerful example of how repetition in songwriting not only fortifies a theme but also mirrors the obsessive nature of jealous thoughts. The kiss means everything to him but it was only a kiss for the girl he fell for She moves on and he moves into the next verse Now i'm falling asleep.and taking control. after the girl leaves him, he goes to bed thinking about her and falls asleep While asleep, he dreams of her and this other guy going home and making love together.
