“It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever done. The writing of it was really just something that happened. It felt like it just fell out, and…reading the lyrics back and learning something as I’m doing it,” he began.
“Actually, I wrote it in December and it started because I was trying to write a Christmas song. So that lasted two lines, but it was ‘Tell me your fears / I’ve turned back the clocks, it’s that time of year.’”
“I think I was just trying to do something different. Maybe taste. Maybe it’s about taste,” he admitted.
Harry went on to explain that it’s a love song.
“For me, it is a love song about how special something can be and not everything has to last forever in order for it to be special. I think some of the greatest relationships in your life teach you something don’t last forever, and I think that just kind of is the definition that we have of success of a relationship, is longevity, and lasting for eternity…it just negates all of the beauty and so much positivity that can come from a relationship where you learned something about yourself. That’s a gift that someone else gives you even when it’s difficult. It’s something I’m really grateful for, because I kind of had to learn a lot about myself at that point.”
